Now in its fourth year, this event provides a unique space for women to connect and share insights at Fieldays. This year’s theme, “Beyond The Diplomat,” focuses on how women lead through complexity, particularly in an era of geopolitical change and an uncertain global trade environment. The discussion will highlight whether women’s leadership styles bring unique strengths to these challenges - whether they are more effective, simply different, or both.
Event Highlights:
- Panel Discussion featuring women leaders from the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands
- Interactive Q&A
- Networking Session with drinks and nibbles
- Opportunities for mentorship and connection
Panellists:
- H.E. Iona Thomas – British High Commissioner to New Zealand
- H.E. Jane Connolly – Ambassador of Ireland to New Zealand
- Carolien Vis – Deputy Head of Mission, Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
- Bridgit Hawkins (MC) – Chair, AgritechNZ and Acting CEO, Humble Bee Bio
Open to all Fieldays attendees, this event is focused on amplifying women’s voices and fostering community across sectors. Spaces are limited - register early to secure your place!
