HerStory is more than just an event—it’s a movement. Held annually to honour International Women’s Month, it provides a space where thought leaders, changemakers, and professionals come together to celebrate diversity, equality, and the power of storytelling. The event also presents a fantastic opportunity for businesses to actively support women in leadership while reinforcing the importance of diversity and inclusion inside and outside the workplace.
This year’s theme, ‘Formation’, symbolises women coming together to shape the future of business, leadership, and innovation—building strong foundations for progress.

Gail Porter – Presenter, model, and now comedian, sharing her journey in the public eye and her advocacy for mental health awareness.
Rekha Sohun – General Manager of the Hilton Brighton, a leader in hospitality and business excellence.
Daisy Kalnina – Founder of The GelBottle Inc., expanding her business empire into property with DKollection.
Lisa Baskott – CEO of 2nd Line of Defence, pioneering change in security and leadership.
Alex Young – Director of Projects The Lanes, offering insight into business growth and collaboration.
Sarah Rebello – Solicitor in Dispute Resolution for Rix & Kay Solicitors, bringing legal expertise to the discussion.
In addition to hearing from leading women in business, attendees will have be invited to participate in a Wellness Workshop & Activity led by Cocoon Wellness, a local female-led business dedicated to guiding individuals on a journey of self-discovery, inner peace, and well-being.
