Former First Lady Michelle Obama is set to touch down in Australia in May 2026, to woo Aussie audiences for the first time with a live conversation. The US national treasure, who was First Lady from 2009 to 2017, has been a strong advocate for girls and women worldwide and will speak publicly in Melbourne and Sydney about issues close to her heart.
Hosted by Growth Faculty, In Conversation with Michelle Obama is only on offer for two days – May 19 in Melbourne and May 20 in Sydney – and this is a rare opportunity to see the American icon work her magic on audiences Down Under.
Obama will share her remarkable life story, from her childhood in Chicago to her journey through motherhood, to her whirlwind experiences in the White House and her impact on the world as a global leader and changemaker.
As the author of four books, including her best-selling memoir Becoming (2018), the Princeton and Harvard Law graduate is widely recognised as an advocate for poverty awareness and education, inspiring people all over the globe to live better lives and do more for their communities and the less fortunate.
Her debut visit also coincides with the release of her new book, The Look (2025). The heartfelt new book features more than 200 photographs – some never before seen – depicting Obama’s style evolution from pre- and post-First Lady looks.
Her honest and intimate stories highlight how her sense of style has transformed throughout the years and catapulted her into the media spotlight, emphasising how her fashion journey magnifies her global message and touches hearts all over the world.
For a truly unique and memorable experience with this wonderfully passionate lady, you won’t want to miss Michelle Obama in action.
