Entrepreneurs Networking Event

For the women building things.

Date: Thursday 6 August, 2026
Time: 6.00pm to 8.00pm (ACST)
Location: Bar Torino, 158 Hutt Street, ADELAIDE

Whether you're deep in it, scaling something great, pivoting hard, or quietly plotting your next move, we’d love to connect you with other female entrepreneurs in the BCD community who understand your world.

This is your chance to step into a room full of women who get it. Women who know what it costs to back yourself. Women who have sat with the same uncomfortable questions and figured out their own answers. As a BCD entrepreneur, you can share what's really going on, swap hard-won lessons, and build the kind of connections that create real impact.

Come for the conversation. Stay for the community. Leave with more than you came with.

Tickets are on sale now – secure yours today.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Executives: Come and Try BCD! (7 Aug 2026)

When Leadership Gets Complex,
Who Do You Turn To?

An Exclusive Introductory Session for
Senior Female Leaders

At senior levels, leadership changes. Your decisions carry more weight, the room gets quieter, and the space to think out loud - honestly, confidentially, and without performance - gets smaller.

That’s the gap behind closed doors exists to fill.

We’re inviting a small group of senior female leaders to a complimentary 90-minute introductory session designed to offer something deeper than traditional networking or surface-level mentoring. This is about trusted connection, thoughtful conversation, and access to women who understand the pressure you’re under, because they’re carrying it too.

Many of our Members tell us, “It wasn’t what I expected. It was better.” More grounded. More useful. More human.

What this session includes:

A focused conversation with Donny Walford, Founder & Managing Director of behind closed doors, exploring how senior leaders create space for clearer thinking amid demanding roles
A facilitated discussion with peers navigating complex decisions, high expectations, and full lives
A first-hand experience of a community built on confidentiality, trust, and practical support, where relationships go beyond exchanging business cards.

BCD is not about adding another commitment to your calendar.
It’s about discovering a sounding board you can rely on - and a network that quietly has your back.

Event Details:

Date: Friday 7th August 2026
Time: 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM (ACST)
Location: BCD Office, 10 Watson Avenue, Rose Park SA

Ready to Step Up in 2026?

A Complimentary Introductory Session for
Emerging Female Leaders

You don’t need to have it all mapped out to know that you're ready for more. More influence, more confidence, and more clarity about what’s next.

If 2026 is your year to step into leadership - whether for the first time or more fully - this 'Come & Try' session is designed for you.

At behind closed doors, we support women as they grow into leadership with intention, perspective and the right network around them. This no-obligation introductory session is a chance to pause, reflect, and explore what’s possible when you stop doing it alone.

What you’ll experience:

A 30-minute conversation with BCD Founder & Managing Director, Donny Walford, sharing practical insights on building career relationships and navigating leadership with confidence.
An open, honest and supportive facilitated group discussion to unpack the challenges, opportunities and questions you’re grappling with right now.
A first-hand feel for our behind closed doors community, and the power of being in a room with other women who are stepping forward too.

We'd love to welcome you, so you can experience this window into what becomes possible when you’re supported, challenged and encouraged to back yourself.
