2018 Summit Wellington

The Wellington Summit will took place at TSB Arena, Queens Wharf on 2 May 2018.

The theme for the Wellington Summit 2018 was Embracing my Future in a world of change, complimented by the following sub-themes:

  • Resilience
  • Confidence
  • Influence

This Summit was an opportunity to bring women in the public sector together to provide professional development and networking that would:

  • Enable women to unleash their full potential
  • Encourage a ‘whole of self’ approach to the work environment
  • Promote diversity and inclusion across the public sector
  • lift engagement (motivation and confidence) among women

The Summit saw a diverse range of people come together for ONE DAY to gain insight to navigate their aspirations, potential and identify influences involved in fulfilling their career ambitions.
