Are Media has announced the inaugural The Australian Women’s Weekly Health Summit sold out in less than 10 days, making it the fastest-selling consumer event in Are Media history.
The Australian Women’s Weekly Health Summit was created in response to The Weekly’s 2023 Voice of Australian Women Survey, which found women are more focused on mental and physical health than ever before while also feeling unprepared for and uninformed about menopause.
The event, sponsored by Priceline Pharmacy in partnership with Jean Hailes and McKenzie’s Foods, will take place at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art Australia on Saturday 31 August, with a focus on health topics that are of most importance to women, including menopause, wellness and mental health, physical health, financial health and healthy eating.
It will include a series of panel discussions, cooking demonstrations and participatory sessions featuring experts, special guests and The Weekly team.
