2026 WAIKATO WAAHINE COLLECTIVE SYMPOSIUM
Following the incredible success of our inaugural event last year the Waikato Waahine Collective Symposium is back for 2026!
On 12 August at Claudelands Event Centre, we’re bringing together an ambitious and diverse community of waahine from across the Waikato, with a goal of 300 business women in the room. It’s an afternoon designed to inspire, connect, and empower, with a strong focus on real conversations, meaningful networking, and professional growth.
Expect an unforgettable line-up of speakers, honest insights, plenty of laughs, opportunities to network with like-minded women, and a room full of energy, ambition, and support.
Keep an eye out as our Waikato Waahine Collective Symposium speaker line-up drops over the coming weeks.
This event will sell out. Register now to secure your ticket and lock in the first release price.
