Women Who Lead: Breakfast Meeting

Scope /

On the morning of 2 September 2026, the Women Who Lead: Breakfast Meeting will bring together women from diverse cultural backgrounds and across the sector for an energising and activating session. This breakfast gathering offers an opportunity to connect with female leaders who are shaping the future of the seafood industry.

Expect meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and valuable networking opportunities. Whether you work on the farm, in the boardroom, or drive innovation behind the scenes, join us to start the day alongside other inspiring women through a series of topic-led roundtable discussions.

This year, we move beyond awareness and celebration to explore our collective role in creating environments that amplify women’s voices, leadership, and influence. How can we work together — women and men alike — to accelerate cultural change and unlock new opportunities for social innovation?
