After the sell-out success of Women Say Something during the 2011 Mardi Gras festival, the speaking series is back with a new format and in a new venue.
Starting with a sit down dinner with the panellists, the audience will get the chance to dine and speak directly with these amazing women before the panel kicks off. Choose to attend both dinner and the panel or just the panel. Steph Sands, spokesperson for Women Say Something, says, ”The theme for the next instalment of Women Say Something is ‘I Do, I Don’t’ – it’s not just about the marriage equality debate, but about all the black and white we live by as women and how this influences our opinions within our lives."
