Book me to speak for International Women’s Day

I am keen to speak at your International Women’s Day events! IWD is 8 March – I’m available throughout the month.

I can do a keynote plus q+a, or panel events. Topics I cover include disability and accessibility, appearance diversity, inclusive fashion, feminism, the arts, writing, and having cancer and entering early menopause. And I can tailor the speech to the theme of the day (the UN Women theme is “March Forward”), or whatever message your organisation needs to hear, of course.

I am based in Melbourne, and I can travel, or do online events. I’ve previously spoken at events for Meta, Monash Health, All About Women at the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne Fashion Festival, Vivid, University of Western England, and lots of writing festivals, schools, government orgs and local councils.

You can book me to speak by contacting my agent: Lucy@SpeakingOut.com.au, or sending me an email via my contact form and I’ll connect you. Feel free to share this post with someone you think might like to hear my message.

Here are a couple of testimonials from recent speeches:

We would highly recommend Carly as a speaker. She considered and understood the theme of our event and pitched her talk to the audience well. Carly also included a wonderful balance of personal insights, professional expertise and a human story line that kept the audience engaged.“
—Jeremy Hearne, SCCHC
“The session was amazing, we received some beautiful feedback from people who attended saying it was one of the best sessions that we’ve ever had at the TAC. Carly did a brilliant job, she’s such a professional. It was super engaging and refreshing to hear such an open and honest conversation. We would definitely have Carly back to speak again if an opportunity arose.”
—Kathleen Simpkin, TAC

In addition to speaking, I can write for your website or magazine, partner with your brand, and provide accessibility advice.

Thank you!
