Internationally, women account for 41% of the supply chain workforce, yet only 23% hold senior leadership roles. In South Africa, women represent just 28% of the logistics and transport workforce. This imbalance not only limits career advancement for women, but also constrains the sector’s growth and innovation.
The CILTSA conference provides a powerful platform for networking, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. It supports women with the tools, resources, and skills to navigate challenges, build confidence, and progress in their careers.
The conference is a vital initiative aimed at addressing the ongoing gender gap in these industries. Although women make up a significant portion of the workforce, they remain underrepresented in leadership roles—both globally and in South Africa.
Through inspiring speakers and practical insights, the event encourages women to pursue leadership roles and make their mark in the sector.
This conference is more than a gathering—it’s a step towards a more inclusive and innovative industry. By empowering women, we unlock new ideas and drive long-term progress across logistics, transport, and supply chain.
