The Gold Coast is gearing up for a night of empowerment, connectivity and celebration as the 2025 Girls in Business Awards takes place on Saturday 8 November 2025, from 5:00 pm to 10:30 pm, at the Southport Sharks Events Centre.
Since its debut in 2019, the Girls in Business Awards has grown to become a flagship event for the region, bringing together a vibrant community of business leaders, entrepreneurs and supporters. The 2025 edition aims to be bigger and bolder than ever, recognising not only the women who lead and innovate, but also the men who champion and support them.
“The Girls in Business Movement came to life from a dream to create a powerful force of future female leaders who care about making a difference and supporting other women along the way,” said Asha Barber, Founder of the Girls in Business Movement.
Organised by Girls in Business, this milestone event recognises excellence, innovation and leadership in business with a special highlight this year on uplifting women entrepreneurs and change-makers across the Gold Coast, as well as honouring a male business leader with the inaugural “Business Man of the Year” category.
The event will showcase standout entrepreneurs, creatives and executives from start-ups to established businesses providing a powerful platform for networking, community building and celebrating what’s possible when business vision meets drive on the Gold Coast.
In a time when business landscapes are fast-changing and leadership demands continue to evolve, the 2025 Girls in Business Awards shines a spotlight on professionals who are not just surviving, but thriving, innovating, and driving meaningful impact. By recognising high-achievers and connecting them with like-minded peers, the event supports a ripple-effect of growth and empowerment across the Gold Coast region.
Media are invited to request interviews, attend the event and cover the ceremony at the Southport Sharks Event Centre on Saturday the 8th of November from 5pm.
