CEW Leadership Summit 2025: Tomorrow Needs Everyone
Event description
CEW Leadership Summit 2025
Tomorrow Needs Everyone
On Wednesday 15 October, the CEW Leadership Summit returns to Melbourne with new insights and fresh energy.
2025 marks CEW’s 40th Anniversary, and with it, a milestone moment: to reflect on how far we’ve come and to confront what’s still holding us back.
This year’s Summit isn’t business as usual. You’ll hear from changemakers including scientists, policymakers, technologists, cultural leaders, and business trailblazers who aren’t just talking about progress, they’re engineering it.
We’ll unpack five dynamic forces shaping society today:
Technology & AI – and why women must be part of designing what’s next
Climate change – through the lens of women-led innovation and science
Democracy & governance – how today’s polarisation impacts the next 40 years
National identity & sport – and the role of women in shaping Australia’s future
Leadership from First Nations women – the matriarchal lessons for leadership we can learn from
And we’ll ask the hard questions:
Will these dynamics accelerate a fairer, more inclusive future or reinforce the systems that are holding us back?
The CEW Leadership Summit is not about critiquing men or fixing women. It’s about confronting the systems that no longer serve us. It’s about designing new structures, together, that benefit everyone.
For 40 years, CEW has been advocating for and providing resources to progress women in leadership.
We encourage you to bring your teams, your colleagues, your influence to be a part of this important conversation. Because tomorrow needs Everyone.
