Waikato Waahine Collective Symposium
June 2025
Our inaugural symposium brought together over 200 waahine at Claudelands Event Centre for a half day event.
This year’s theme celebrated the strength and resilience of women who have overcome adversity, both personally and professional to forge their own paths. Our keynote speakers shared journeys of navigating challenges, defying expectations, and embracing their roles as architects of their own futures. The day was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when waahine come together to uplift, connect, and lead.
