Women In Kiwifruit present International Women's Day 2024

International Womens Day

Join Women In Kiwifruit (WIK) to celebrate International Women's Day 2024 at Zespri's head office. The event starts at 4:30 pm with speakers scheduled to begin at 5pm.

Every International Women's Day has a theme. The 2024 theme is #InspireInclusion

When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. When women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for women.

We look forward to seeing you there!
