BYRON Bay International Film Festival director J’aimee Skippon-Volke and Indigenous chef Mindy Woods will help facilitate a networking and knowledge sharing event in Byron Bay in the lead-up to International Women’s Day.<\/p>\n

Byron’s Badass Women of Business event will be held at Byron Bay Spirit Company’s new distillery in the arts and industry estate on Tuesday, March 4.<\/p>\n

Corporate coach Ashlea Griffin, from The Happy Therapist, and business coach Kylie Mowbray-Allan, who specialises in digital marketing, will also share their expertise at the function, which is hosted by Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

Skippon-Volke, who is also vice-president of the Chamber, said attendees would be spread around at different round tables, with each discussing a different topic.<\/p>\n

They will include such issues as the power of storytelling to build a meaningful brand and how to use your personality and feminine traits to drive success in business.<\/p>\n

“You have to be fearless and walk your own path to do business well,” Skippon-Volke said.<\/p>\n

“It’s one thing if you have a shop that’s been open for a million years and nobody else is filling that need, but in this day and age everyone is being called on to find their unique selling proposition.”<\/p>\n

Skippon-Volke said the round table format was one that had proven popular at BBIFF events.<\/p>\n

“A lot of networking events are standing around having drinks and introducing yourself to people and you just end up hanging in your normal cliques,” she said.<\/p>\n

“This format allows people to quickly get to know other people without the awkwardness of shuffling up to everybody asking them what they do and why they’re there.”<\/p>\n

The event is limited to 60 tickets, which cost $15 for Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce members, including a welcome cocktail or mocktail on arrival, and $25 for non-members.<\/p>\n
