Women of Croatian heritage from Australia and New Zealand are descending on the Ilirija Resort in Biograd na Moru, Croatia, from July 14 to 16, 2023, for what is being deemed "an event by women for women."

Innovation, Resilience, Achievement: Croatian Women Leading

With a captivating lineup of esteemed speakers already confirmed, organizers are expecting around 100 professional women of Croatian heritage to embark on a journey from the Southern Hemisphere to Croatia. Their goal: to explore the profound impact of global connections on the opportunities available to Croatian Women both in their homeland and abroad.

The keynote speaker for the summit is Martina Dalić, President of the management board at Podravka. Dalić's notable achievements and exceptional leadership make her an ideal representative of the spirit that permeates this gathering.

Underpinning the summit's theme of "Innovation, Resilience, Achievement: Croatian Women Leading" is a recognition of the remarkable progress witnessed among women of Croatian heritage. This includes the indomitable spirit passed down through generations, from grandmothers to mothers, and the invaluable lessons learned from the challenges faced along the way.

The AUS-NZ Croatian Women in Leadership Organization, a group of women united by their Croatian heritage, shares a common goal: to support, encourage, and inspire one another as they navigate their professional lives. Representing diverse groups and businesses across Australia and New Zealand, such as Croatian entrepreneurs, female professionals, small business owners, women in the workforce, students, and recent graduates, the AUS-NZ Croatian Women in Leadership Network facilitates regular meetings, workshops, and events. It serves as a platform for business networking, idea-sharing, and personal development, ultimately driving greater success for its members.

With the summit just around the corner, excitement is mounting. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, forging lasting relationships while exchanging insights and ideas. The rich program will feature thought-provoking panel discussions, engaging workshops, and inspiring presentations, all geared toward empowering women of Croatian heritage to step into leadership roles and make a lasting impact in their respective fields.
