ARISE Women in Business

(Formerly Deborah Business Education Hub)

The Deborah Conference was a boutique conference founded in 2016 by Maree Cutler-Naroba and Event managed by Nic Jones, Market Me Marketing. Its purpose was to inspire Christian Women Entrepreneurs to live a business life of passionate pursuit and purpose wrapped in His presence—modern-day Deborahs: awakening Christian Women Entrepreneurs to shift the course of history. Over a period of seven years (2017 to 2024), the Deborah Conference successfully ran annually either face-to-face across Australia (Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth) or online. It was also held in New Zealand as an amazing retreat in August 2024.

This conference was supplemented with resources and services provided through the Deborah Biz Education Hub with a particular focus on championing Kingdom women social entrepreneurs and pioneers (women starting and developing business, ministry and movement initiatives) that impact beyond today and leave a legacy across the nations for generations to come.

In late 2024, the Deborah Conference movement and the Deborah Business Education Hub combined to Arise Women in Business (AWIB), a rebrand with a renewed commitment to its Christian foundation, championing and educating women as they build businesses grounded in faith, service and transformation.
