2026 is a special year for the Women’s Business Initiative International as we celebrate 20 years of supporting women on their entrepreneurial journeys. What began two decades ago as a women’s club to share skills and ideas has grown into more than a business network. It has become a community of incredible women who continue to share their passions, support one another and create an encouraging environment for learning, trying, failing, succeeding and simply growing. WBII is a place where international and local women can connect and develop their businesses with confidence and support.
Since announcing our 20th Anniversary Celebration, we’ve already heard from former members, some now living abroad, who once found their place within WBII. Whether you are a current member, a former member or somewhere in between, you are warmly invited to reconnect, catch up and celebrate together.
Throughout the year, we will continue to create spaces for connecting and learning, and February is no exception. On 23 February we’re hosting a members-only WBII Book Club, where we’ll dive into our current read, Boss Life: Surviving My Own Small Business by Paul Downs. This is just one of the many perks of being part of the WBII community, so we invite you to join WBII and be part of the conversation.
On 26 February, members are invited to join us for our traditional sushi lunch at Ohmu Sushi, a delicious, informal and relaxed opportunity to connect and catch up.
As we celebrate this milestone year, we invite you to stay connected, join us when you can and continue shaping a community where women support one another through every stage of business and life.
