The annual Women’s Lifestyle Expo will be taking place on Friday 10 September at the scenic Sunshine Coast Turf Club.
Despite the setbacks and unpredictability of the Covid-19 restrictions, Alexandra Kupka, family lawyer and business owner, is determined to host this significant event for the Sunshine Coast community.
Ms Kupka is passionate about women in business and this event brings the community together to empower women of all ages and backgrounds.
This year will mark the 13th annual Expo and each year it showcases the many wonderful businesses and entrepreneurs the Sunshine Coast has to offer.
Ms Kupka has been successfully hosting this event since 2018.
“This event provides the opportunity for local businesses to display their products and services, it is not only a chance for business owners to gain crucial brand exposure but also for the community to enjoy a fun and educational event,” Ms Kupka said.
The Expo will feature an array of prominent Sunshine Coast businesses from health and beauty to finance and business advisories.
Some of the current exhibitors include, Outfit of the Day, Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network, Healing from the Heart, Nu Skin plus many more.
