Something big is brewing in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and it’s not your typical business conference. Angeli of Angeli Shaw Mentoring and Cait of Iconic Coaching are combining their firepower to launch IGNITE, a luxury three-day business retreat designed to tear up the rulebook and rebuild everything from the inside out. Running from Saturday 25th to Monday 27th April 2026 (with arrivals the Friday evening before), IGNITE brings together just 15 ambitious businesswomen in a stunning hinterland mansion for an experience that promises equal parts strategy and soul. It’s intimate by design — because real transformation doesn’t happen in a crowd. “This isn’t where you sit in rows collecting business cards from people you’ll never call,” the pair say. “This is where you come to light your business on fire, blow up everything that’s not working, and rebuild yourself into the absolute weapon you were born to be.” It’s a
