Olympic Champion Libby Trickett to Headline Brisbane North Chamber's International Women's Day Event

BRISBANE, Australia - Seven-time Olympic medallist and mental health advocate Libby Trickett, OAM, will deliver the keynote address at Brisbane North Chamber of Commerce's prestigious International Women's Day Long Lunch, jointly hosted with Valley Chamber of Commerce.

The event, set for February 21st at Tattersall's Club Grand Ballroom, aligns with the 2025 International Women's Day theme "Accelerate Action" and will bring together business leaders from across Brisbane's northern corridor to celebrate women's achievements and foster meaningful dialogue about gender equality in business.

"We are thrilled to welcome Libby Trickett as our keynote speaker for this significant event," said Renee Bailey, Events Officer and Executive Member of the Brisbane North Chamber of Commerce. "Her remarkable journey from Olympic champion to mental health advocate and successful businesswoman perfectly embodies the spirit of resilience and innovation we see in our business community every day."

Beyond her sporting accolades, which include multiple Olympic gold medals and world records, Trickett has established herself as a compelling voice in mental health advocacy and community leadership. As a mother of four (soon to be five) and entrepreneur behind initiatives like Play On and The Sport Social, she continues to inspire through her dedication to personal growth and community wellbeing.

"Through our collaboration with the Valley Chamber of Commerce, we're able to create even more impactful events that truly serve our business community," added Bailey. "This partnership exemplifies the power of working together to support and elevate local businesses."

The annual lunch, proudly sponsored by Ambient iT, will support The Carers Foundation as this year's charity partner, reflecting both Chambers' commitment to community impact. The event welcomes attendees of all genders, emphasising the importance of collective action in advancing gender equality in business.
