Event Details
Hosted by Wellington Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Lillis Clark
Harbourside Function Venue, Wellington
6 March 2026, 12-2pm

Held two days before International Women’s Day, this year’s event embraces the global theme #GiveToGain, a call to recognise that when we invest in women, leadership, equity and community, everyone benefits. Through mentoring, advocacy and bold leadership, giving time, opportunity and voice creates lasting a impact for women everywhere.
To bring this theme to life, we’re delighted to welcome Meg Williams, CEO at World of WearableArt and Mei Heron, 1News Reporter for TVNZ: two powerful storytellers whose careers span creativity, media and influence. Through candid conversation, they’ll share insights from their professional journeys, the lessons learned along the way, and how giving—whether through leadership, courage or community—has shaped their success.
Set against the waterfront at Harbourside Function Venue, this lunchtime event offers an opportunity to pause, reflect and reconnect with others who are passionate about progress, equality and meaningful change.
