An Evening with Elizabeth Day
Joined by a special guest, be the first in Australia to witness Elizabeth’s renowned live show first hand; brilliantly funny, painfully honest, and a celebration of the things that haven’t gone quite right.
Experience Elizabeth's signature wit and warmth firsthand as she engages in candid discussion and take the opportunity to be a part of the conversation by asking your questions of Elizabeth on the night: is ‘success’ a myth? How can we turn crisis into clarity? Does it really matter if you’re rubbish at tennis?
Elizabeth's body of work is a testament to the power of resilience and personal growth. With her well-known podcast, How To Fail, at the heart of her journey, Elizabeth explores the beauty in our imperfections and the strength that comes from acknowledging and learning from failure.
Join us for an event that celebrates the beauty of the human journey—the triumphs, the failures, and everything in between.
Book your tickets today and be part of an extraordinary evening of inspiration, growth, and shared stories that will resonate long after the lights go down.
