WISA Networking Event

Women in Seafood Australasia are hosting a Network event in Nelson before the Seafood NZ Conference in August. They are also running an optional tour to the Cawthron Aquaculture Park during the day.
WISA and WoAA share a vision for women in the seafood sector of Aotearoa. Come along to meet new people and forge valuable new connections with the wider industry.
This event is open to everyone, not just WISA members, however spaces are limited so RSVP to secure your ticket!
Thanks to the continued support from Biomar, we will be hosting another event prior to the 2025 Aquaculture Conference in October.

Past Events
This year we were able to host a networking lunch at the NZMSS conference held in Blenheim.
It was an energising and interactive session dedicated to connecting wāhine across our marine and aquaculture communities.
A heartfelt thanks to AQNZ and the MFA for their support. And a shoutout to the hard work of Emily Benjamin (UoA) and Nicola Russel (MFA) that made this event possible.

Pre-Conference Networking Event 2024
We held our first ever pre-conference event before the 2024 AQNZ ‘Accelerating Aquaculture’ Conference in Nelson. This event was generously sponsored by BioMar.
Around 100 wāhine joined us from both around Aotearoa and from overseas! We had a wonderful evening getting to know more of the amazing women of our sector, as well as hearing some valuable insights from our speakers and panelists.
There was a clear appetite for discussions and we believe we are just getting started! Thank you all for a wonderful first year. Let us continue to learn from each other and work together to make this industry even better!

Inaugural WoAA Event
Our fabulous Inaugural event was held at the Tasman Bay Cruising Club and was attended by nearly 60 women from around Te Tau Ihu.
It was fantastic to have so many wāhine together networking and getting involved. The event was incredibly positive and we look forward to more in the future!
