*Early bird ends 3rd July*

Join us this September for the 2026 Women in Leadership Summit, under the theme Momentum: Leading Forward.

After a year where many leaders are being asked to do more with less, one question stands out: how do we sustain momentum while continuing to deliver impact in increasingly complex environments? 

The expectations on leaders have shifted. Teams are leaner, decisions carry more weight, and the pressure to deliver is constant. This year’s Summit is designed to meet that reality – providing practical tools, networking, and hands-on opportunities to workshop and tackle your biggest leadership challenges. 

Our early confirmed speakers include: 

• Celeste Barber  

• Simran Kaur  

• Narelda Jacobs OAM  

• Kate Reid  

• Ellen Fanning  

• Kirstin Ferguson  

Alongside these conversations, you’ll experience an interactive program build to create lasting capability and support: 

• Mini workshops, supported by pre- and post-event webinars, so learning starts before the event and continues after 

• Facilitated networking that actually works, including a short session on how to network effectively and themed networking circles designed to help you build the right connections quickly 

• A more dynamic onsite experience, with curated spaces for professional development, wellbeing and leadership reflection throughout the day 

This is not just time out of the office – it’s an investment in how you and your team lead, make decisions, and deliver results. 

Your participation also directly supports UN Women Australia’s work to advance women’s leadership, safety, and economic empowerment – ensuring professional growth here translates into long‑term impact beyond the room.

Additionally, as in previous years, your participation supports a vital cause – with a portion of ticket sales contributing to UN Women Australia’s work to accelerate women’s leadership, economic empowerment, safety, and resilience.
