19.09.26, GOLD COAST
Australia's Inaugural
Luxury Women's Business Gala
A full-day experience designed to activate your wealth identity, leadership and legacy. It's business energetics, premium strategy and personal development inside a Vogue-level red carpet experience.
WHAT IS ICONICA?:
ICONICA was created for one reason: to bring the most luxurious and electrifying business experience to Australian soil.
This event is designed for the women who are building something that will outlast them and leave a mark on their industry.
The type of women who attend ICONICA understand what a room like this does.
They have grown their business, sat in workshops and masterminds. Yet felt, somewhere beneath the polite applause and the complimentary notebooks, they craved something exquisite.
Now... Attending another business workshop in another hotel room does not move you
What you have been searching for, is something that speaks to your soul.
The ambition and the elegance. A ballroom experience, vogue-style entrance, multi-speaker, catered gala where every detail has been designed with the standard of the 1% woman in mind.
That is ICONICA.
The first event of its kind in Australia. And the one set to become the defining annual business gala for female founders.
Two hundred women in business.
One luxury ballroom.
A standard AUSTRALIA HASN'T SEEN BEFORE
ICONICA is a one-day luxury women's business gala designed to raise your wealth standard permanently.
This is a room you do not just simply attend. You arrive as you are and leave with an entire new self-concept.
Inside ICONICA, you stop managing yourself down to fit spaces that were never built for the scale of who you are.
Instead, you become the woman of your next level wealth, influence and leadership.
This is where old money wealth aesthetic meets new paradigm business consciousness.
Your experience will see a red carpet arrival, cabaret seating, champagne celebration, 7 and 8-figure movement leader speakers sharing the stage alongside performers, artists and voices that do not sound like anything you have heard at a business event before.
Interwoven with sophisticated strategy and intentional experiences designed to move you.
For our VIP attendees: an intimate DIAMOND VIP after party to close the night, alongside the most extraordinary room of women in Australia.
Every detail was chosen with one standard in mind.

ICONICA is where feminine business growth and old-money aesthetic become one.
DESIGNED FOR THE WOMAN:
You got into business because you desire to build something lasting. You see your business, as a movement in the making.
You know having hundred thousand dollar month conversations like they are your baseline is right at your fingertips.
At ICONICA you will experience a permanent reality shift.
You gain access to unexplainable energetics that will completely alter your self-concept, remove financial blocks and learn sophisticated strategy to time collapse results beyond the day.
After ICONICA;
You become the diamond of the season.
Your reality see's money flowing to you organically, people invest like it's a no-brainer, not because they like your content, but because they believe in your movement..
You're name means something to others and your vision stays in the hearts of your community.
ICONICA unlocks everything you once thought possible and makes it tangible.
This is not a room for the woman still deciding what she wants.
This is a room for the woman who knows, in every cell of her body, that she was born a star and is ready to play like it.

- ♛Unscripted, unfiltered, unrepeatable
- ♛VIP ticket holders receive priority question access
There is a specific kind of woman who notices everything:
The smell of a room before the lights come on.
The way the energy shifts the moment a performer walks onto a stage.
The music setting the tone before anyone has said a word.
She grew up in dance studios, theatre wings and behind the camera - understanding something that most people never learn: how something feels is just as powerful as what is said.
She carried that into business.
And she has spent years walking into events that almost got it right. She leaves inspired, returns home and within days finds herself back inside the same version of herself she was trying to leave behind.
ICONICA was created for her.
This is show business in business.
The speakers will inspire you and the performers will move you.
The activations will reach the parts of you that strategy cannot touch.
And the women beside you [the sheer calibre of them] will shift everything you thought was possible for yourself.
You will look around the room and think:
"yes. finally. this."

MEET YOUR HOST
I am Candy The Creator, a premium business mentor, speaker and the visionary behind ICONICA™ - Australia’s inaugural luxury business gala.
From transitioning out of emergency nursing to building a 7-figure company across 2 years, hosting national tours and multi-day events, impacting 1000’s of women. I have built a movement on one core principle: your business will only ever rise to the standard of your identity.
What began as creating content for other entrepreneurs turned into mentoring women in business to scale beyond six figures and build high-converting personal brands and assets that generate wealth consistently.
Growing up as a dancer I always had a thing for the stage. So it made sense when I discovered my passion for running and attending rooms. I have held 20+ events and spoke on multiple stages. I've travelled internationally studying some of the best rooms for female founders. I loved it, but felt lost in Australia, there was nothing that held strategy, luxury and business in one space, my soul led me to create ICONICA.
My mission is to elevate the environment women build business in and lead the next generation of female founders into iconic wealth, leadership and legacy.
When women step into my world, their standards soars.
They get activated into their soul prophecy and rise into who they were always meant to be.
Speaker 1: Mariana Lennert (@MARIANALENNERT_)
FEMININE LEADERSHIP MENTOR
If you’ve ever experienced Mariana you’ll know exactly why she is one of the most magnetic women in this industry.
She has guided over 5,000 women through transformational experiences, spoken on stages in front of 4,000+ people, and dedicated her life’s work to helping women reconnect to their feminine power, leadership and magnetism.
Mariana moved her life from Brazil to Australia 19 years ago, and built her dream life through feminine energetics. She teaches women how to become more magnetic, attract everything they desire such as their divine soul union, more money, lifelong friendships, career promotions and impactful success.
She is a master at her craft, using somatic practices, NLP, subconscious reprogramming, and deep feminine wound healing as she believes becoming the magnetic woman is your divine birthright.
From the moment I began creating ICONICA, I knew Mariana belonged on this stage.
Because ICONICA is about stepping into a room that changes you. And Mariana is the kind of woman who creates exactly that.
Speaker 2: Ange Simson (@GRATITUDE_PROJECT)
BUSINESS & CONTENT MENTOR
If you've ever wondered why some women make content look effortless, while building brands that people genuinely buy from, Angela Simson is one of the women leading that conversation.
Founder of The Gratitude Project, Angela teaches women how to build premium brands, create content that converts, and become the obvious choice in their industry.
Her philosophy, "be more specific," has helped her build a community of more than 211,000 women and become one of Australia's leading experts in messaging and positioning.
After spending 11 years building an audience in health and wellness, Angela pivoted into business mentoring in 2023 and generated $33,000 in her very first month, purely through the power of her messaging.
Since then, she's spoken internationally, appeared on the Today Show, featured on magazine covers, and is known for helping women build audiences that actually buy, not just follow.
ICONICA is about building a brand people remember. And Angela is the woman who will show you how.
Speaker 3: Anna Rose (@THEREAL_ANNAROSE)
MULTI-7-FIGURE FOUNDER
There are some women who will show you, that you CAN have and do it all... Anna Rose is one of the women leading that conversation. She has seen massive success in 5 business, in 5 separate industries.
If there is anyone you want to learn business growth and wealth building from... It's this woman.
Founder of Self-Love School, My Inner Circle, TAW Collective, The Dream Haus Studio, and host of one of Australia's top-charting podcasts, Anything Goes, Anna has built an entire business ecosystem generating millions in cumulative revenue.
Long before her brands existed, Anna became one of the top 0.1% earners in the world in network marketing, travelling internationally to speak on stages in London and Las Vegas, proving her ability to build influence in any room she entered.
Since then, she's pioneered one of Australia's leading Web3 communities for women, built multiple market-leading brands, and become known for teaching women that true expansion isn't one-dimensional.
It's body, mind, soul and wealth, built together.
ICONICA is building wealthy empires and Anna is the woman who will show you how.
M/C: Samara Speaking (@SAMARASPEAKING)
TRANSFORMATIONAL WOMENS COACH
There is no one I'd trust more to hold the energy of the ICONICA stage than Samara.
As one of my high-level clients, I've had the privilege of witnessing the way she leads behind closed doors. The way she commands a room, makes people feel seen, and creates an environment where women feel safe enough to expand is unlike anything I've experienced. (as well as achieving exponential growth from working together...)
If there is anyone you want to learn embodiment, leadership and personal transformation from... it's this woman.
Founder of Samara Speaking, Samara has built a globally recognised coaching brand, leaving the corporate HR world to create a six-figure business in her very first year, now impacting women internationally.
Her work blends behavioural science, NLP, timeline therapy, hypnotherapy, somatic therapy and identity work, but what truly sets her apart is her presence. She has a rare ability to make every woman in the room feel like she's speaking directly to them while seamlessly guiding the collective experience.
ICONICA deserves an M/C who can do exactly that.

YOU DON'T BECOME ICONIC QUIETLY.
YOU CHOOSE THE ROOM THAT CHANGES YOU.
THE 1% WOMAN HAS FELT THIS:
Most events were not built for women like you.
They were built for the woman who is still figuring it out.
Still finding her confidence. Still deciding if she is serious.
You are past that. You have been past that for a while.
ICONICA was built specifically for the woman on the other side of that threshold. The one who is not asking if she can.
The one who is asking what is actually possible when she is finally surrounded by women who match her.
FAQ's
IS THERE A DRESS CODE?
Yes.
ICONICA is a luxury experience.
We encourage elevated, powerful, polished attire. Think modern royalty. Think red carpet business. Think iconic.
You don’t have to be someone else. But this is the room where you dress as the woman you’re becoming.
There will also be an award for best dressed.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GENERAL ADMISSION AND VIP?
General Admission gives you full access to the event, catered lunch, speakers, and experience.
VIP includes priority front-row seating, private VIP after-party with guest speakers, exclusive ICONCIA merchandise, royalty treatment and elevated perks, photo opportunity with Candy + guest speakers, exclusive BTS extras and a closer proximity to the iconic circle. VIP is for the woman who knows proximity collapses time.
VIP Package is where you get assigned a VIP table with the 5 people you choose. This works out to be a discounted ticket per person.
ARE TICKETS REFUNDABLE?
No. Due to the nature of live events and venue commitments, tickets are non-refundable. You may transfer your ticket to another woman if needed.
IS THIS SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS?
ICONICA is designed for women who are serious about business. You don’t need to be at six figures. But you do need to be committed. If you’re still deciding whether you want a business, this may not be your first step (but it will catapult you forward). If you’re building one and ready to scale it properly, you’ll be in the right room.
CAN MEN ATTEND?
ICONICA is a women-led, women-focused room but men are welcome to attend. The conversations, activations and positioning are designed specifically for women building powerful personal brands and businesses. However topics of sales, personal branding and business strategy are discussed and applicable for males.
CAN I SPONSOR THE EVENT?
Yes.
ICONICA partners with aligned brands and leaders who want visibility in a premium, high-level room of ambitious women in business.
If you are interested in sponsoring the event and being part of the panel speaker section, please email [email protected] for next steps.
All sponsors are curated to ensure alignment with the ICONICA standard, audience and experience.
CAN I COME ALONE?
Most women do. And they leave with a table of connections.
ICONICA is intentionally curated to make networking feel natural, powerful, and aligned.
You won’t feel like an outsider. You’ll feel like you’ve found your level. However, we encourage you to round up the money-loving, business obsessed girlies and get them there! You can round up a group of 5 for discounted VIP tickets or send this to your biz bestie and make this a girls trip!
