In Conversation with Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama is one of the most iconic, inspiring and compelling women of our era.

For the first time, Michelle Obama, bestselling author, advocate, and former First Lady of the United States, will appear live in Sydney and Melbourne.

This is a rare opportunity to hear one of the most admired women of our time share her extraordinary story — from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years in the White House, and the life she continues to build as a global leader, changemaker, and mother.

Michelle Obama continues to shape global conversations on empowerment, equality, and well-being. Her warmth, wisdom, and authenticity have made her a defining voice for our times, reminding us how we can all find strength in our stories, purpose in our challenges, and hope in uncertain times.

Award-winning broadcaster and current presenter of ABC’s Australian Story, Leigh Sales AM will lead the conversation in Sydney. A three-time Walkley Award winner, recipient of an Order of Australia and author of five books including national bestseller Any Ordinary Day, Leigh is one of the most recognised and respected interviewers in the country: precise, considered and deeply experienced. She also co-hosts the wildly popular podcast Chat 10 Looks 3 with fellow moderator Annabel Crabb.

We invite you to join us for an extraordinary evening with Michelle Obama.
