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.
Australian Women’s Weekly editor Sophie Tedmanson
Event host and editor of The Australian Women’s Weekly, Sophie Tedmanson, will be joined by MC Jessica Rowe along with wellness experts including celebrity cook Julie Goodwin, fitness trainer Michelle Bridges, actress Jodi Gordon, radio and television personality Myf Warhurst, former model and podcaster Alison Daddo, TV GP Dr Ginni Mansberg, financial expert Effie Zahos, First Nations social and emotional wellbeing counsellor Dr Liz Dale, and CEO of Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, Dr Sarah White.
The Health Summit will be part of a fully integrated campaign, amplified across The Australian Women’s Weekly brand through editorial and native features, advertising, video, social media and publicity.
