Courageous Leadership: rising to the challenge

The 2026 Women of the Future Summit will explore what it means to lead with courage and purpose in uncertain times. Together, we’ll unpack the courage it takes not just to challenge injustice, but to lead with authenticity, resilience and integrity. We’ll meet those inspiring leaders who are showing bold leadership in their work on critical issues, such as human rights, climate justice or diversity, and we’ll focus on the practical skills needed to influence in a world being rapidly shaped by new technology.

Get inspired

A day which had true impact. and showed me how to throw the shackles off. The WOF mantra of do everything with kindness is invaluable. We're not going anywhere alone, and we sometimes forget that.

The insights shared during the event were a perfect mix of inspiring and practical. I came away with a notebook full of tips and ideas that I can't wait to put into practice in the workplace.
