Who is this event for?
Stelar is for purpose-driven women in business: founders, business owners, leaders and key people who are driving things forward.
This is for you if you value real conversations with substance over hype and surface-level inspiration. If you care deeply about the impact your work makes and the people you serve, alongside building a financially successful business.
What makes this event special?
A tonne of things! Here's a start..
Stelar isn't just a one-day conference, it's a complete, facilitated journey. Your experience begins weeks before the event with pre-event audio conversations designed to open your thinking, and continues afterward with structured follow-up and accountability in the 21-day Momentum Builder. All of this is included in every ticket, no upsells.
It's values-led and purpose-driven. We care about business and financial success. We also care about impact and the people we serve.
The conversations here go beyond surface-level hype — they're intelligent, substantive, and designed to spark meaningful action.
Stelar is genuinely and intentionally inclusive. We celebrate women-led leadership and welcome anyone who resonates with the values and ethos.
With over 18 years of facilitation expertise and hundreds of events delivered globally, we understand what creates genuine outcomes and have shaped every aspect of Stelar to facilitate this.
The community and environment is super duper warm and welcoming. Here you'll feel seen, recognised and supported. We're all on the same page, wanting to do well - in business, with our impact, and of course, within ourselves. We're here to champion all of that, side by side.
Is it a conference, a workshop, or a networking event?
It’s all of these, and more. Stelar combines the best of each: the inspiration of a keynote stage, the depth of a workshop, and the connection of a networking event, woven together through expert facilitation.
Expect an experience that moves seamlessly between ideas and interaction, offering meaningful dialogue, guided reflection, and practical momentum. Every element is designed to serve the people in the room - including the pre and post-event facilitation!
What’s included for all tickets?
- Pre-event audio conversations from Kate, designed to open your thinking and have you arriving on the day ready to go deeper.
- Access to the private Stelar Community weeks before the event, where connections start forming before the day.
- The full-day live event, featuring speakers, facilitation, and meaningful conversation.
- A light lunch on the day.
- Momentum Builder: 21 days of post-event follow-through, accountability, live calls and continued community connection.
What’s included in the Diamond Tickets?
Diamond Tickets include everything in a general ticket, plus access to the Diamond Dinner and other Diamond experiences.
The Diamond Dinner is an intimate sit-down evening with event founders, Jenny-May Clarkson and other Diamond guests. It's a beautifully curated evening designed for genuine connection. This won't be your average networking gig!
Diamond Tickets also include “Diamond Connect”. Here we’ll curate special introductions for you with other Diamond guests, based on shared ambitions, expertise and opportunities for collaboration.
Diamond Tickets include:
- Reserved front-of-room seating on the day
- Diamond Dinner, beginning at 6pm on October 17th
- Diamond Connect
- A special gift presented at dinner
- Diamond Group Call — a private post-event call with fellow Diamond guests, facilitated by the founders
Can I bring my team?
Absolutely, in fact, we encourage it! So many valuable insights come from shared experience and collective discussion.
When you attend with your team, you leave with a shared understanding of the ideas, insights and inspiration from the day, along with the collective energy and momentum that comes from experiencing it together - making it far easier to take that thinking back into your business and turn it into action.
What is your refund policy?
Tickets are non-refundable, however they are fully transferable. If you can no longer attend, you're welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else.
To arrange a ticket transfer, you’ll need to notify us at support@katerubybradshaw.com

About the Diamond Dinner
The Diamond Dinner is an intimate sit-down dinner held after the main event hosted by the founders Kate Ruby Bradshaw and Bailey Rose alongside our MC Jenny-May Clarkson.
While there will be a glass of bubbles available on arrival, we've made the deliberate choice not to centre the evening around alcohol. We've designed the evening for connection and depth. A live harpist means that the conversations you’re in will be easily heard, during a really beautiful evening of facilitated connection and collaboration.
Think: candlelight, a sit-down dinner, live harpist, epic conversation with those you've been thoughtfully introduced to by the hosts, and some special things up our sleeve.
About the Diamond Connect process
To make the right matches, we'll send you an email with a link to your Diamond Connect Profile. What you share there is what we'll work from.
Please complete and submit your profile by 1 September 2026 . This gives us the time to curate your introductions with the care and intention they deserve. Please understand that due to the time that this takes, we're unable to guarantee introductions for profiles submitted after this date.
If you cant find the email that links your Diamond Connect Profile - please email our team and they’ll be happy to help - support@katerubybradshaw.com
