International Young Women & Emerging Leaders Forum

African Diaspora Women’s Summit 2026

The International Young Women & Emerging Leaders Forum is a dedicated platform embedded within the 3rd African Diaspora Women’s Summit 2026 in Melbourne.

Designed by and for young women, students, early-career professionals, and emerging leaders across the African diaspora, this forum creates a powerful space for connection, leadership development, and global collaboration.

Through interactive and participatory sessions, the forum brings together young women from Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, the Americas, Australia, and beyond to exchange experiences, share ideas, and actively define their role in shaping the future of leadership, entrepreneurship, policy, innovation, and social impact.
