You're invited
An evening that feels held.
Meaningful connection, honest conversation, and the beginning of a community that continues long after the table is cleared.
Saturday, 12 September 2026 · Cora · Broadbeach, Gold Coast
Something happens when women gather with no agenda other than to be present with one another. The conversation goes somewhere real. People feel seen. And you leave lighter than you arrived.
That's the evening we'd love to invite you to.
This isn't networking. There's no pitch, no working the room, no version of yourself to perform. Just a candlelit table, a shared meal, and women who show up as themselves — the kind of connection that stays with you long after the night ends.
An intimate table in the heart of Broadbeach.
We're gathering at Cora, the restaurant inside The Beach Hotel Broadbeach — a warm, considered setting for a warm, considered evening. Candlelight, deep burgundy, soft florals, and one long table styled to feel like an invitation rather than an event.
Our table is intentionally small. It's part of what makes the evening feel held — and it means places are genuinely limited.

We don’t wait. We build.
We don’t wait. We build.
Finding us on the night Cora is the restaurant within The Beach Hotel Broadbeach, on Surf Parade. Make your way to the hotel entrance and follow the signs to Cora — our Female First welcome will be waiting for you just inside. If you're driving, there's parking nearby; allow a few extra minutes to arrive and settle.
The heart of the evening.
At each setting you'll find a reflection question — a gentle, thoughtful prompt designed to take the conversation somewhere real. There's no pressure to perform, no round-the-table introductions, no "so what do you do?" You share as much or as little as you like, and you'll find the room meets you there.
It's a simple thing, but it changes everything. The questions give everyone permission to be honest, to listen deeply, and to be genuinely present — so that by the end of the night, you're not leaving with a stack of business cards, but with women who actually know you.
This is connection by design. It's what makes a Female First dinner feel less like an event, and more like belonging.
“Most tables leave connection to chance. Ours doesn’t.”
The evening is the beginning — not the end — of the conversation.
For as long as we've held these dinners, women have said the same thing on their way out the door: I wish this didn't have to end.
So we've built somewhere for it to live.
This dinner marks the official launch of the Female First Membership — a home for this community to continue between our dinners. And the women in the room on the night are the first invited to become Founding Members: the first circle, helping shape what this becomes.
There's nothing to decide at the table. Come, take in the evening, and if it feels right, we'd be honoured to welcome you.
Only 30 seats are available. Once those seats are filled, registrations close.
The evening unfolds in two parts.
We'll begin in the private courtyard with a welcome drink and canapés — a relaxed, golden hour to arrive, settle, and meet the women you'll share the evening with. Then we'll move inside to the table for a beautiful two-course dinner, where the real conversation begins.
The Experience
A welcome drink and canapés in the private courtyard as you arrive.
A two-course dinner at a long, candlelit table, styled with care.
Guided conversation — the heart of the evening.
Space to speak, and to be heard — no hard pitch, no elevator speech required.
A personal welcome — every woman met warmly, by name.
You don't need to arrive as anything but yourself.

Save yourself a seat at the table.
Our table is intimate and places are limited by design. If genuine connection over transactional networking is what you've been looking for, we'd love to welcome you in September.
