Macca and Sally talk to Nelly Thomas, Host, Comedian The Great Debate

Get ready for an evening filled with inspiration, laughter, and thought-provoking discussions. Our host for the night, the hilarious Nelly Thomas, will lead a lively debate titled, “Is it time for women to give up on the internet?” She’ll be joined by an amazing panel of experts, comedians, and advocates, including Beverley Wang, Darcy Vescio, Janty Blair, Kirsty Webeck, Rana Hussain, and Ro Allen.

Don’t miss out on this unique event that blends humour with important conversations about the dual nature of the internet, which offers unprecedented connectivity but also poses significant challenges. We’ll explore whether we should retreat or stand firm in this new “town square.”

Expect to be inspired by a lineup of outspoken, funny, and feisty speakers who will share their diverse experiences online, resonating with anyone who has faced both the positive and negative aspects of digital life.
