WHEN: Monday the 16th of March 2026 
TIME: 6.30- 9.30pm 
DINNER & DRINKS: Canapes and free flowing wine, beer and soft drinks We are honoured to welcome our guest speaker for the evening, Nayran Tabiei — a truly inspiring leader whose story embodies strength, courage and determination.

Nayran migrated to Australia as an asylum seeker from Syria during the civil war, facing immense uncertainty while seeking safety for her family. Arriving with limited English and no network, she relied on her determination, her deep love for cooking, and the strength of community to rebuild her life.

Drawing on her Syrian heritage and culinary passion, Nayran began cooking for local groups and community organisations. What started as a way to connect with others, soon grew into a respected food business that allowed her to share her culture, empower other women, and create meaningful pathways for connection. Through her food, she built bridges, sparked conversations, and showed the healing power of shared meals.

Today, Nayran is a proud Melbourne businesswoman, chef, and community leader. Her journey from conflict to entrepreneurship is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when resilience meets opportunity. We are excited for you to hear her incredible journey and the powerful message she brings to this year’s International Women’s Day celebration.

So please join this fun filled night with prizes to be won, delicious food to enjoy and fabulous conversations with women who come together to share their stories and empower one another.  

All Women are welcome to join us not just business owners so please share this event with anyone you would like to join us.  Numbers will be limited so please complete your registration as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
