The New Zealand government announced borders will be fully open by October 2022, the month before the 8^th IWG World Conference on Women & Sport.

The International Working Group (IWG) on Women & Sport is delighted to announce that registrations for the postponed 8th IWG World Conference on Women & Sport re-opened at 3pm NZT, Tuesday 8 March 2022!

As the world continues to mark UN International Women’s Day, IWG has launched a brand new IWG World Conference Hub including a first draft “Programme-at-a-Glance”, plus early session information and new details about how IWG New Zealand is putting the whole experience together.

Kia ora everyone,

On behalf of the IWG Global Executive, we hope you have had a good start to the New Year!

In our last update, we announced that the 8th IWG World Conference on Women & Sport would be postponed by 6 months to 14 – 17th November 2022. This decision was made due to ongoing border restrictions, which would have prevented us from welcoming any speakers or participants in-person from outside Aotearoa New Zealand.

Last week we wrote to you explaining the border situation here in Aotearoa New Zealand. In summary, if we were to continue ahead on our current dates with the 8^th IWG World Conference on Women & Sport, the border restrictions would prevent us from welcoming any speakers or participants in-person from outside New Zealand.
