Award-winning actress, producer and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon will come to Australia and New Zealand later this year as part of a women’s speaker series.
Being announced via The Simpatico Conference’s social media channels yesterday, 40-year-old Witherspoon is set to be the headline speaker at the series, which will be held throughout July.
With ticket prices beginning at a cool $1997 per person, the conference isn’t exactly what you’d call a bargain though. Packages begin with ‘The Delegate’, which offers attendees entry to the two-day conference and includes all catering and drinks.
There’s also ‘The VIP’ package at $2997, which includes a photo op with the celebrity, and ‘The Intimate Table’, an hour-long roundtable conversation with Witherspoon, for which no price is listed.
“Reese Witherspoon embodies the philosophy of the Simpatico Conference. She is talented, intelligent, passionate, diverse and committed to making a difference,” said the Simpatico Connection’s managing director Jacqueline Nagle.

To be fair, that is the price for the entire conference, not just the Reese Witherspoon bit. And $2000 is pretty standard for a two-day conference of this nature - most people's companies foot the bill because it's considered professional development.
Glad it's so affordable, I'll just grab that spare $2000 I've had lying around and be at the first show.
She obviously doesn't intend to appeal to the normal (struggling) working people of Australia!
It's $2000 for a two-day conference with full catering, not just Reese Witherspoon. The price sounds reasonable to me. She's not here for a speaking tour, she's here to deliver a speech at a conference.
Oh right - well that makes sense then.
The heading (yet again MM) is very misleading.
Thanks squish :)
