The Maori Leadership Summit 2025
The Maori Leadership Summit 2025 marks a historic milestone as the first event of its kind, dedicated to advancing leadership across Aotearoa and beyond. This groundbreaking gathering seeks to place Maori culture at the heart of leadership discussions, ensuring that its values, traditions, and worldview are embedded in the future of governance and business.
About the Event
The summit is more than just a conference—it’s a celebration of wisdom, leadership, and innovation. With a focus on empowering Maori voices and fostering transformative dialogue, this event will bring together visionary leaders, cultural advocates, and changemakers to forge pathways for greater representation across all sectors.
At a time when leadership models are being redefined, the Maori Leadership Summit offers a unique platform to explore how Te Ao Maori can shape leadership practices for future generations. From the boardroom to community initiatives, we aim to elevate leadership to new heights.
Join us for this momentous occasion, where culture meets progress, and together, we will create a future where leadership flourishes across every sector.
Be Part of the Change
This is your opportunity to connect with trailblazers, engage with transformative ideas, and be inspired by those who’ve made significant strides in breaking the glass ceiling. Together, we’ll explore the avenues of change, celebrate the achievements of women leaders, and forge a path towards a more inclusive and equitable future. Don’t miss out on being part of this pivotal moment in leadership history.
