OFFICE PROFESSIONALS DAY IS HERE… and honestly, there’s no better time to ask for your professional development budget.

If your company celebrates Office Professionals Day, values your growth, or talks about investing in its people - this is the moment to put your hand up.

Why not attend together with the other admins in your business and turn it into a shared professional development, learning, and networking experience?

DATE:  Friday 11 September 2026
TIME:  12.00pm – 2.30pm
PLACE: Rydges Melbourne

What’s it really like to be Sir Richard Branson’s Executive Assistant? Find out from the woman who did it.

Samantha Cox has worked with world leaders, lived on Necker Island, and now runs her own global consulting business. And on Friday 11 September, she’s coming to Melbourne to share her story, lessons, and insights with the Victorian admin community.

This is more than just a lunch. It’s professional development, networking, career inspiration, and a chance to learn from one of the most recognised Executive Assistants in the world.

So, if you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to ask for PD support from your company - consider this your sign.
