Women in Real Estate (WIRE) Luncheon

Update: Due to the potential impacts of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the 7 March 2025 WIRE event. We share in your disappointment, but the safety of our community is our top priority, and we want to ensure the event can be enjoyed as it was intended. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to secure a new date as soon as possible. We look forward to welcoming attendees to the rescheduled event soon! Please hold tight and stay tuned for updates.

Celebrate International Women's Day at the REIQ's hotly anticipated Women in Real Estate (WIRE) event for 2025, celebrating the extraordinary achievements and influence of women who are shaping Queensland's real estate landscape.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon at the stunning Rivershed at Howard Smith Wharves for incredible food, amazing views, and even better company. 2025 is set to be our most exciting WIRE yet, with a keynote speech from Australian sporting legend, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for women's wellbeing Lisa Curry, as she shares her journey of resilience and achievement in and out of the public eye.

Keynote Speaker: Lisa Curry

Lisa Curry AO is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most popular personalities, with a unique and powerful message about personal success, overcoming obstacles, discipline, determination, weight loss, regaining your health, and getting the best out of people.

She has achieved and learnt so much from being a triple Olympian, Keynote Motivational speaker, bestselling author of six Health and Fitness books, Personal trainer, Coach, Board member, TV and Radio presenter, Product ambassador, defibrillator recipient and mum. With five Online Weight Loss and Fitness Programs and her new Hormonal Imbalance educational website, Lisa continues to work and speak to help motivate, inspire and educate people to help them realise their full potential.

Best known for her long and successful swimming career; she has competed in three Olympic Games, two World Championships and three Commonwealth Games and her competitive swimming career spanned an awe-inspiring 23 years and saw her ranked in the top 25 swimmers in the world every year she competed.

She held Australian and Commonwealth records in every stroke [ except backstroke) from 50 – 400mts, a feat no other Australian swimmer has ever achieved. She was also the first swimmer to represent Australia at Commonwealth and Olympic Games as a mother. At the age of 30 with 2 small children, Lisa swam the fastest ever at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and rates this as the highlight of her career.

Lisa returned to elite sport after swimming coaching and competing with her outrigger team, the Riggeroos, to win four World Championships in the 72km Outrigger Canoe race in Hawaii becoming the first Australian team to do so in the history of the race. She also was the first Australian ever to win the Hawaiin Molokai to Oahu 66km solo outrigger race.
