Part 1: A celebration of women's progress in maritime life

Building on the momentum of Women in Maritime Day 2026 (18 May 2026), this gathering brought together researchers, industry leaders, global advocates, and allies to honour the rich legacy of women’s contributions to maritime life—and to help shape what comes next. Through keynote talks, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, we explored how research, storytelling, and visibility can drive meaningful transformation across the sector. With thought‑provoking materials on display, hybrid participation options for international audiences, and insights from leading voices worldwide, the event sparked inspiration, connection, and forward momentum.
