Sisterhood Womens Travel, a leading women-only travel specialist, has long championed connection, confidence and community through shared travel experiences.
Their support of the event aligns with CATO’s commitment to celebrating women who contribute to the strength and progress of Australia’s travel and tourism sector.
“CATO’s International Women’s Day Luncheon brings together leaders from across the industry to recognise the women who shape and elevate our sector,” said Brett Jardine, CATO Managing Director.
“We are delighted to welcome Sisterhood Womens Travel as our Major Sponsor for 2026. Their dedication to creating opportunities for women to explore the world with confidence embodies the very spirit of this event.”
The event will take place on March 10, 2026, at The Calile Hotel in Brisbane.
