This International Women’s Day, which takes place on Saturday 8th of March 2026, stand with women and challenges sexism in society. When business leaders recognise this important event, they send a clear message of support to their female employees and position their organisation on the right side of history. 

The theme of International Women’s Day 2026 is Give to Gain. This highlights the power of reciprocity and support in our quest for gender equality.

International Women’s Day speakers are booked all year long to ignite transformational change, by teaching audiences of the bias and prejudice that limit female potential. Particularly popular at corporate conferences, these speakers drive inclusion within the workplace.
