Women Who Lead - Panel Event

Queenstown Women in Tech x Techweek 2026

When: Monday 18 May 2026, 11:00am - 1:00pm

Where: Crowne Plaza Queenstown

Cost: Free, thanks to our partners and supporters

Three women. Three remarkable careers. One honest conversation about what leadership in tech actually looks like.

This Techweek, Queenstown Women in Tech is hosting an intimate panel lunch with three of the most accomplished women in New Zealand's technology sector - and they are not here to give you the highlight reel.

 If you've ever wondered whether you're ready for the next step (or how other women figured it out) this conversation is for you.

They will be sharing the real stories; the career inflection points, the decisions that changed the trajectory, the networks that opened doors, and the moments they backed themselves before they felt ready.

What to expect:

• Honest leadership stories

• Straight talk on visibility, confidence, and bold career moves

• Practical insight into networks, sponsorship, and leading well

• Time to connect with other women in tech over lunch 

This event is for you if you are:

• Working in or around tech and thinking about what is next

• Leading a team and looking for fresh perspective

• Curious about what a career in tech could look like

Thank you to our sponsors Both Brains, TechStep and Crayon for helping us fund this event and keeping it free of charge for all of our members
