The Gold Coast’s leading women in business were celebrated in style on Tuesday 23rd September, as the Gold Coast Women in Business Awards 2025 Nominees Celebration took centre stage at the Gold Coast Exhibition and Convention Centre.
The afternoon brought together an inspiring cross-section of entrepreneurs, executives, innovators and community leaders, all recognised for their outstanding contributions to the region. Guests were treated to an afternoon of connection and celebration, with heartfelt speeches highlighting the strength, creativity and resilience of the Gold Coast’s businesswomen.
Nominees were acknowledged across a diverse range of categories, reflecting achievements in leadership, innovation, sustainability and social impact. The atmosphere was one of pride and anticipation, as nominees and supporters alike applauded the remarkable achievements of women driving the Gold Coast forward. The celebration set the tone for the 2025 Gold Coast Women in Business Awards Gala, where winners will be announced later this year.
