Rotorua | Te Puia | 21–23 May 2026
Connected. Courageous. Changemakers.
The 2026 Members’ Hui invites our community to pause and reconnect – to place, to purpose, and to one another. Grounded in whenua and guided by connection, Rotorua’s landscapes and geothermal springs remind us that renewal is both powerful and necessary. Coming together as Global Women members fills our cup – with learning, challenge, laughter, and the energy that only collective leadership can bring.
This Hui is a moment to acknowledge progress and to be honest about what has not shifted – particularly for women and communities facing intersecting inequities. Across two days, we will examine where power sits and how it must be redesigned; how capital, talent, health systems, and institutions can work differently; and where leadership responsibility must now be held with greater courage and accountability. We will bring global insight into sharp local focus, centering wāhine Māori leadership and reflecting the diversity of women’s experiences across Aotearoa.
Above all, this Hui is designed to move us from insight to action. Through purposeful kōrero, connection, and reflection, members will be challenged to leave with clearer priorities, practical shifts to make within their spheres of influence, and renewed confidence to lead meaningful change. Together, we step forward – connected, courageous, and ready to act as changemakers.
At this Hui, members can expect bold conversations, diverse perspectives, practical leadership insights, and clear calls to action – grounded in place, equity, and collective responsibility.
