Join Slam Society's Networking Lunch Events

If you’re a woman in business based in Sydney or the Sutherland Shire and you’re craving real connection, not just another room full of business cards, you’re in the right place.

SLAM Society’s Women in Business lunches bring together women from across Cronulla, the Shire and greater Sydney for meaningful networking lunches that feel warm, welcoming and genuinely supportive.

Whether you’re a business owner, founder, freelancer, creative, professional or mum in business, these lunches are created for women who want more than surface-level networking.

Think good food, real conversations, introductions that actually matter and a table full of women who understand what it’s like to build something, grow something or dream of something more.

Why Our Women in Business Lunches Are Different

These are not stiff corporate networking events.

There’s no pressure to pitch perfectly, no cliques and no awkward walking into a room wondering where to sit. Many women come on their own, and that’s exactly why SLAM exists.

These lunches are created to make connection feel easier. You’ll have the chance to introduce yourself, share what you do, talk about what you’re currently working on and connect with women who may become clients, collaborators, supporters, mentors or friends.

At SLAM, networking is not about collecting contacts. It’s about creating conversations that continue long after lunch is over.

What Makes These Lunches So Special

Real connection, not forced networking

You’ll meet women who are open, friendly and genuinely interested in supporting one another.

A relaxed and welcoming atmosphere

You can come solo and know you’ll be introduced, included and seated with women who are there for the same reason.

Support for every stage of business

Whether you’re just starting out, growing, pivoting or rebuilding confidence, you’ll find women who understand the journey.

Local community and real opportunities

Our women’s networking lunches bring together women from across Cronulla, Miranda, Caringbah, the Sutherland Shire and greater Sydney, creating meaningful local connections that often turn into collaborations, referrals and genuine friendships.

Good food and genuine conversation

Because business building feels a lot better when it happens over lunch, laughter and a table full of women cheering each other on.

What to Expect at a SLAM Women in Business Lunch

When you arrive at one of our women’s business networking events, you’ll be welcomed by the SLAM host and introduced to the group. You don’t need to know anyone before you come.

Each lunch includes time for introductions, relaxed conversation, connection prompts and open networking. You’ll have the opportunity to share who you are, what you do, what you’re currently working on and who you’d love to connect with.

The goal is simple: to make it easy for women to walk in solo and leave with new contacts, new ideas and a genuine sense of belonging.

You may meet someone who needs exactly what you offer. You may find a new collaborator. You may simply leave feeling more seen, supported and inspired than when you arrived.

That is the power of the right room.

Women looking for community, confidence and connection in Sydney or the Sutherland Shire

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to show up.

Why Connection Matters in Business

Building a business can feel lonely, especially when you’re doing so much of it behind the scenes.

You can be busy, visible and surrounded by people, yet still feel like you don’t have the right support around you. That’s why women’s networking events like these matter.

When women come together in a room that feels safe, generous and supportive, opportunities naturally happen. Ideas are shared. Referrals are made. Collaborations begin. Confidence grows.

Sometimes the right conversation over a networking lunch can open a door you didn’t even know you needed.

Come Solo. You’ll Be Welcomed.

One of the biggest things we hear from women across the Sutherland Shire and Sydney is: “I want to come, but I’m nervous because I don’t know anyone.”

Please know, you are not the only one.

So many women come to SLAM events solo. In fact, many of our strongest friendships and business connections started because someone was brave enough to walk in on their own.

At SLAM, you won’t be left standing awkwardly in the corner. You’ll be welcomed, introduced and included from the moment you arrive.
