What’s on the programme

From 11am, guests can explore a myriad of sessions that bring together some of the most respected names in lifestyle and fitness.

Pulse Talks are peppered throughout the day, offering a series of short, interactive conversations relevant to women’s lives. Speakers include Motherkind founder Rechelle Kloeck, fitness entrepreneur Uleen Fourie, content creator Taryn Louch, NGO owner Savannah Cozzi, and Investec’s Elizabeth Fick and Tracey Ward.

The programme includes Investec’s Health of Your Wealth discussion, exploring the connection between health, financial wellbeing and choices that shape the lives we want to lead.

Feminine powerhouse Nandi Madida joins the lineup along with media personality Tarryn Kay, while Zuraida Jardine prepares guided breathwork sessions for attendees.

At 4.15pm, the focus shifts to the Wellness Arena for the day’s headline workout with Kayla Itsines. As iconic fit-fluencer and co-founder of the globally recognised Sweat fitness platform, Kayla has helped millions of women build strength through accessible training programmes.

Her debut visit to South Africa offers POWERladies the opportunity to experience one of her workouts live, alongside local fitness personalities from Gold’s Gym in Joburg and Health and Fitness Coach Monique Lopes.

But that’s not all; curated intentionally for women to enjoy a day made just for them, the PowerPARTNER Village features a selection of wellness, beauty and lifestyle brands, with interactive experiences and product sampling.

Hydration and refreshments are the order of the day, with an array of fabulous food trucks and, of course, Motherkind offering delicious smoothies, collagen-infused drinks and four delicious new flavours of Kind Energy.
