The IWD Illawarra Lunch has been championing local women and organisations for more than 20 years, cementing its place as one of the region’s largest and most in-demand events.

This year, Bluejuice Events delivered a fully integrated, end-to-end event management solution, transforming a sold-out WIN Entertainment Centre into a seamless, high-impact experience for more than 950 attendees. Amy Duggan returned as event MC, creating a respectful and inclusive space for our guest speaker Jana Pittman and all scholarship and major project winners.

From initial planning through to on-the-ground delivery, our team led every detail including venue liaison, supplier coordination, attendee communications, seating, and full-scale production. With meticulous coordination and a sharp focus on the attendee journey, we ensured a polished, professionally executed event that ran flawlessly from start to finish.

Bluejuice Events proudly partnered with our valued client BlueScope to deliver a memorable Community Celebration hosted by Managing Director & CEO Tania Archibald at iAccelerate.

Welcoming nearly 200 guests, including Board members, local politicians, and community leaders, the event marked several key milestones for BlueScope.

From initial assets design through to seamless on-site delivery, our teams collaborated to create a cohesive and engaging experience, covering everything from invitations and signage to full-scale event production.
