A Golden Success Conference 2025 | The Calile Hotel, Brisbane
What an incredible day we had at A Golden Success Business Conference last week at The Calile Hotel in Brisbane! Surrounded by over 100 passionate women in business from across Australia and New Zealand, like-minded industry experts, and a lineup of powerhouse speakers, it was an incredible day filled with learning, inspiration, and genuine connections.
The Day in a Snapshot: This wasn’t your typical networking event — every little detail was carefully thought out and intentionally put together to ensure our attendees left feeling motivated and inspired. No forced small talk, no awkward moments—just real conversations with people who are just as passionate about growing their businesses as you are. The beautiful setting of The Calile Hotel provided the most perfect backdrop for the event. As many of our attendees pointed out – it was definitely the most boujee business event they’ve attended!
What You Missed: Our lineup of expert speakers shared lots of valuable insights on scaling, visibility, and success strategies. From Monique Forcellasharing her secrets on organic growth with magnetic messaging, to Carinda Gosling helping attendees consider how they can use passive income streams, every talk was packed with actionable takeaways.
We heard from Instagram pro Brittany Worthington about how to turn Instagram into a sales machine, and Pru Chapman walked us through a complete framework to grow a profitable, sustainable business. Our panel discussions featuring Jessica Ruhfus, Sally Prosser, Odette Barry, Cass Deller, Crystal Bailey, and Clare Wood gave real-world insights on everything from PR to investing in your business.
I’ll be sharing more of the specific takeaways on the podcast over the next couple of weeks!
Special Thanks: A huge thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and every attendee who made the day so unforgettable. It truly was the best day!!
The Exhibitors Area at A Golden Success was a beautifully curated space, open to all our conference guests during break times. It provided an opportunity for attendees to explore and connect with some incredible brands. Featuring Jess Rufus with No.2 – Perfume Drops, Clare Wood selling her book Intentional Profit, the beautiful Nurture Teas, Morro & Co, Foundd Legal, Self Bloom Co, and the Outsourcing Crew.
What’s Next: The day was filled with SO many golden nuggets to help our attendees grow and scale their businesses without the burnout. I can’t wait to bring this conference back in 2025! We are already in the process of sourcing speakers and locking in our date for the next one at the beautiful Calile Hotel again. Next year we will have slightly more tickets available and also a few new additions!Â
