Women’s Leadership Conference
A 1-day conference to promote women’s leadership as a positive force for change
The story behind the conference
We were inspired by the story of one woman, who changed the face of education in New Zealand, to start a regular conference series, where inspirational and successful, dynamic women leaders could meet to share experience and advice.
We bring together women leaders from a range of industries, organisations and backgrounds to share insights and to create strong bonds through powerful networking. These exclusive events are held in the beautiful grounds of the Hôtel-Restaurant du Parc des Eaux-Vives, where we gather for keynote speeches, panel discussions, interactive workshops and a whole lot more.
