Reese Witherspoon to visit New Zealand

The Hollywood star is due here in July.

Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon is coming to New Zealand as part of a seminar to empower women in leadership.

The Walk The Line star will be the featured speaker at The Simpatico Conference, which will take place at Auckland’s SkyCity on July 18, after turns in Australia.

The event, which is billed as a “personal and professional development program” focusing on women, will be Witherspoon’s first speaking tour.

Beginning her acting career as a child, Witherspoon has recently established a successful career as a movie producer, and was behind hits such as Gone Girl and Wild. She also founded a fashion line, Draper James, last year.

Earlybird tickets to the gala luncheon event are on sale now and range in price from $397 to $647.
