What Our Community Says About Us

  • Ali Lennard - Designer & Owner at womenswear brand Philosophy Australia

    “I've been coming to collaborate for more than three years, and have loved every single one of the events. What it's really given me is so much personal confidence to get out and talk to others, and I've now got such a lovely community of friends that have become so important to me because of it.”

  • Liz Weselby - Managing Director, Archetype Australia

    “Joined my first Collabor8Women lunch this week. What a simple yet brilliant concept: 10 curated tables of 8 professional women from diverse backgrounds ... the stories, connections and laughter left my soul full and flying high.”

  • Leanne O'Sullivan - Founder and CEO of Adventure Digital

    “An extra delight from these fabulous dinners is the ding ding ding in my LinkedIn inbox with loads of valuable new connections after the event. I do love meeting and discovering a swag of impressive women in business.”

  • Jennifer Killian - Founder and Principal of TrueCalibre

    “I've had an absolute blast networking at the Collabor8Women events over the past few months. Karen Eck and Samantha Theron have built something truly special that brings women together and delivers value on so many levels! And if the pace of event sellouts is any indication, I am not alone in my views.”

  • Kate Watson - Executive Director and Editor, The Squiz

    “What you have created is such a wonderful community. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and organised way to meet like-minded people. I will absolutely be coming to another event.”

  • Anita Jacoby AM - Renowned TV Journalist and Producer

    “I had a terrific time speaking to so many fascinating women at our table! You’ve clearly created an initiative meeting the needs of independent, ambitious and talented women to grow their networks, by facilitating very welcoming and inclusive events. Congratulations!”

  • Leisa Sadler - Non Executive Director, Strategic Advisor & Leadership Coach

    “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being part of the community and have made some wonderful new connections, reconnected with others and even formed friendships.”

  • Marilyn Annecchini - Owner of Pilu at Freshwater

    “What it does for our hospitality industry is really important. It opens up our industry to a whole new group of people, people who perhaps wouldn't frequent our restaurants before. It's really valuable to our industry.”

  • Sarah Bolitho - Recruitment advisor, DEI Advocate

    "It’s really such a beautiful concept and I felt so inspired being in the company of so many successful and driven women. I can’t wait for the next lunch!"

  • Hema Prakash - Co-Founder of Ponti Health

    “The two of you may have broken the code on how to create valuable connections in a usually noisy and uninspiring space. I love how I bump into friends from decades ago doing incredible things.”
