Michelle Payne will be the first guest speaker of 2020 at an IWIB networking lunch where she will be interviewed at Villa D'oro on February 14 by Richard Morecroft.
Mrs Papac said Morecroft will will be doing an armchair style Q & A chat with Michelle Payne.
She said full event details and bookings will go online on Monday November 4 and is expecting tickets to sell fast.
Mrs Papac said securing such a high profile personality who rarely does speaking engagement was being made possible with the support of businesses such as Imb Bank, Lancaster Law & Mediation, Wollongong Diagnostics, Active Property Conveyancing and Destination Wollongong.
