Game. Set. Transformation.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as Australian broadcaster and former international powerhouse of the court, Jelena Dokic, takes centre stage at The DBI Literary Dinner.

Jelena emerges as a beacon of hope, bravely sharing her story through the pages of her two bestselling books, Unbreakable and Fearless, and her multi-award-winning documentary.

These powerful narratives unmask the raw realities of her childhood and the transformative rise of reclaiming one's voice, unshackling the chains of her past. Her words echo as testament to the immense power of sharing our stories and finding the resilience within to soar beyond limitations. Jelena’s remarkable journey stirs a profound sense of admiration beyond belief.

Don’t miss the iconic DBI Literary Dinner, where story and inspiration collide.

Guests enjoy welcome drinks and a decadent dining experience in the elegant surrounds of the MECC.
