**** 13/03/2020 Event Postponed *****
The Australian Government has this afternoon advised that gatherings of more than 500 people are to be cancelled from Monday 16 March 2020 in response to COVID-19.
Following this advice, I have considered the implications for WNA and our members, and have taken the decision to cancel all WNA events for the rest of March. I believe this is the right decision to take at this time.
The health and welfare of WNA members and guests, and the broader community is paramount.
Any decisions about April events will be made based on the latest advice of health officials.
I will keep you informed.
In the meantime, I would encourage you to continue to collaborate and share your positive insights with fellow members through WNA’s social media channels and website.
We will be posting information about our Business Insight sessions, and other online events. Thank you for your continued support, patience and understanding as we work though this unprecedented situation.
Best regards
Janelle Bostock
Chief Executive Officer

Join us at The Matriarch for our Ideas After Dark Event. The perfect opportunity to increase your visibility and profile after work. We will start off the night off with networking drinks and nibbles. Followed by our two inspirational speakers Leeanne Puglisi-Gangemi and Robyn Puglisi-Henderson from Ballandean Estate Wines with a splash of wine tasting as well. We will find out more about the renowned ‘Strange Bird’ varietals in Queensland Region.
Leeanne Puglisi-Gangemi is an outstanding advocate for Queensland’s burgeoning wine industry and one of Australia’s most influential women in wine.
