Register for the 2020 Wahine Forum presented by The Queen's Health Systems

October 20-22, 2020

Hawaiʻi's largest leadership and career development conference for women.

Gain skills and strategies for leadership. Learn tactics to overcome present-day challenges. Real women will share real advice on how to find and foster personal and professional growth and resilience through keynotes, panel discussions, fireside chats, and presentations.

"I connected with the audience in ways I never thought possible, honestly." - Bettina Mehnert, President & CEO, AHL, Past Wahine Forum Speaker

NEW ADDITIONS TO WAHINE FORUM 2020

• Start your mornings off right with our Moments of Zen Sessions. Let’s take a moment to breathe together and focus on our well-being.

• Grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and join us for Fireside Chats. We’ll start the day with a talk story featuring local wahine who will share their personal stories of perseverance, resilience, and grace.

• Tune into a Live Wahine Lounge on the Hawaii Business Facebook Page where we will cover a variety of interesting topics and important issues facing women and girls today. Plus, a closer look at some of our nonprofit organizations who are doing incredible work in the community, tips for setting up your home office, book suggestions to keep you inspired and motivated, easy and healthy recipes from women rocking our food scene, and more! Learn more about the Wahine Lounge >>

• Connect with like-minded attendees during our Hall Chats while the inspiration is fresh. As soon as your session is over, chat with attendees who shared your experience and interest, just like you would in a hallway walking between sessions.

• If you're looking for a one-on-one experience with some of Hawaiʻi’s top business and community leaders, sign up for the exclusive Mentorship Session. Limited spots available and offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
