Instagram's Digg Mama Caroline O'Neill to host CelebrateHER event in Coleraine for International Women's Day

After the incredible success of last year’s event, the organisers of the CelebrateHER event are bringing together a diverse community of women on Friday, March 1, at Ulster University, Coleraine.

The event promises to be an inspirational, inclusive, fun packed day - acknowledging the impact and success of women across ALL sectors of our community.

Back by popular demand is the hugely successful, Caroline O’Neill, founder of Digg for Success, The Digg Podcast, Digg Deep for Kids and Co-founder of the NI Social Media Awards. A fantastic host at the 2023 event, Digg Mama or Caroline’s passion, charisma and dedication to empowering women will help provide the energy to make for another wonderful day.

Caroline will be shining the spotlight and facilitating engaging conversations with speakers and panellists, who will be reflecting on the theme of Inspire Inclusion. This collection of influential women will offer a diverse range of opinions and advice, from entrepreneurs and community champions to academia and trailblazers in women’s rights. They will challenge the audience to think, make women appreciate themselves and their achievements, and leave them with the confidence to believe in their goals.

Providing a keynote address will be Ailbhe Keane, who alongside her sister Izzy, established Izzy Wheels - a company specialising in turning wheelchair covers into fashion statements.

The Galway sisters developed a globally successful brand out of pure and simple love and on the day Ailbhe will be sharing their incredible journey to help unlock our self-belief and confidence.

Other notable keynotes will include local Professor of Leadership Karise Hutchinson; community champion Una Leonard, Support2gether; and creator of wellness and advocate of mental health, Annette Kelly of Little Penny Thoughts.

With almost 200 registrations to date there will be ample opportunities to make connections and seek inspiration from others, particularly during the networking part of the day.

Encouraging females not to miss the opportunity to register for a place, Jayne Taggart, CEO of Enterprise Causeway, said: “I am thrilled we have a line-up of such extraordinary women to really deliver an incredibly positive and empowering event for our attendees.
