The theme is a bold call for women to stop downplaying their achievements and softening their voices. It reframes leadership as something women deserve by virtue of their expertise and resilience, encouraging them to lead with clarity and conviction in sectors historically dominated by others.

The conference is designed for a broad spectrum of leaders, including C-suite executives (CEOs, CFOs, CTOs), Board Members, Directors, and General Managers. It is also highly relevant for entrepreneurs, women in STEM, policymakers, academic researchers, and young emerging leaders.

The conference will be held on the 10th and 11th of September 2026 at The Maslow Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa’s premier business hub.

The program is divided into eight strategic pillars, including:

  • AI, Tech, and Digital Transformation

  • Climate, Biodiversity, and Sustainable Growth

  • Infrastructure, Energy, and Global Interconnections

  • Geopolitics and Peacebuilding

  • Finance, Insurance, and Creative Industries

Yes. We welcome both women and men to showcase their brands. Registered exhibitors receive a tabletop display, 2–3 minutes of "stage time" to pitch their business, a social media mention, and inclusion in the official conference brochure.
