We’re fortunate to live in a time and place where opportunity abounds, a time when many women have come to the forefront, risen to the top and who are making that place count in a range of important ways.
IGNITE gathers together these women; the game changers whose endeavours have altered industries, impacted economies, provided employment for many and who lever their commercial gains into philanthropic endeavours to make the biggest difference possible.
Importantly, IGNITE fills an often missing space in our female journey – the ability to spend quality, intimate time with other experienced leaders to learn from the gutsy trailblazing journey they're undertaking.
IGNITE is about deliberate time out for meaningful connection, to have our journey invigorated and to add the weight of our experience to each other and make a bigger difference for all.
Hosted by leaders in our community, each IGNITE gathering features an interview and discussion with one of the experienced members and is followed by a time of discussion together.

Featuring Global AI Tech founder Merryn Straker
>> We're delighted our first 2023 IGNITE session features the epic Merryn Straker and her global AI driven tech company, Straker Translations, which she co-founded with her partner. Over that time they've also grown their family to include three boys and a raft of passions that have resulted in the pursuit of growing both a family and business.
We'll dig into how it all started, running a company with your significant other, going for private to public, growing and leading teams across multiple borders and doing all of that and more with a family that also includes a child with special needs.
>> We'll be opening the session with an update from another epic member, Sarah Page - founder of The Kindness Collective. Sarah's organisation has been deep in mahi making a huge difference for those impacted by the recent floods in Tamaki Makurau. Sarah will share about that and the ways we can get in behind their huge coordinated effort.
