The Inspiring Wāhine Rural Conference & Events is a transformative three-day gathering designed to uplift and empower rural women across Aotearoa. Aligning with International Rural Women’s Day, it’s a unique opportunity to recharge, refocus, and reset in a supportive environment.
Why it’s worth going:
You get time for yourself – step away from the everyday to recentre and rejuvenate.
You’ll leave equipped – with practical tools and strategies you can actually use.
You’ll belong – connect with others who understand and share your rural life.
You’ll be inspired – hear from an incredible line-up of well-respected thought leaders and experts in wellbeing & resilience, leadership and governance, business, community, the rural sector, and sport, including: celebrity chef Nadia Lim, founder of Institute of wellbeing & resilience, Dr Denise Quinlan, award-winning author Pauline Smith, Rural Leaders Julia Jones, and Sandra Matthews, Leadership & Governance Expert Dr Jo Cribb, Olympic Athlete Tori Moorby(nee Peters), and Communication expert Amy Scott.
You have flexibility – attend what works for you, whether that’s the main conference, and / or networking drinks, the dinner, or pre-conference activities spread across the three days.
This is more than an event – it’s part of something bigger, weaving together personal, community, and rural empowerment.
