Te Huihuinga
o Matariki

Join our global community of action on the journey toward and beyond the 8th IWG World Conference on Women & Sport in November.

For centuries, people have navigated by the stars. The appearance of Matariki, the kāhui whetū (star cluster) sacred to the Māori people of Aotearoa New Zealand, heralds new beginnings and is a predictor of good fortune, positive change and prosperity. We will assemble under Matariki, with each of our themes aligned to a different whetū (star).

These themes, and the contemporary lenses we will examine them through, have been nominated as most important by our global community of action. They will form the basis of a unique, social learning programme designed by 150+ experts in 30+ countries.

Join us in person or virtually. Connect, collaborate, create. Immerse yourself in our shared Kaupapa (cause) and access the world’s best insights, case studies, toolkits, ideas and stories of change woven together to inspire and accelerate more change in the future.
