Taking place on 1–2 September at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways, Johannesburg, the Annual Women & Leadership in Mining Conference returns with a powerful focus for 2026.
This two-day event not only profiles South Africa’s established leaders in mining, but also shines a spotlight on new voices rising each year. As a women-owned company, Pinpoint Stewards proudly identifies and profiles 12 new speakers annually—from executive level to on-the-ground change-makers—creating a platform that is both inclusive and transformative.
Importantly, this is Women AND Leadership—bringing men into the conversation while driving meaningful progress toward developing and achieving women-focused targets in the mining sector. By sourcing speakers locally, the conference highlights home-grown talent leading the way in South Africa’s mining industry.
Why now?
Women currently make up just 15% of South Africa’s 450,000-strong mining workforce, and previous targets to double this figure has not been achieved. In 2026, the urgency is clear. Industry leaders and regulators are strengthening policies, strategies, and frameworks to advance gender equality and empowerment, and this platform is at the heart of those conversations.
Expect the latest insights, best practices and real-world strategies for implementing impactful empowerment initiatives towards reaching higher productivity levels. More importantly, expect connection, motivation, and a united call for women to stand firm, grow, and lead. It’s DUE – Develop, Unite Empower!
