About the Summit

Where meaningful
conversations lead to
real action.

Go!Mama has spent five years building the infrastructure, community, and trust that makes this room possible. The Global Women’s Health Equity Summit 2026 is an exclusive, invite-only event bringing together around 250 key influencers and stakeholders — spanning government agencies, healthcare institutions, employers, HR and business leaders, union leaders, healthcare professionals, academics, community organisations, family advocates, social enterprises, and corporate partners.

We’re starting where the evidence is clearest: breastfeeding — one of the most measurable indicators of how well a society supports its mothers. From there, we open up into the bigger picture: the workplace policies, caregiving structures, and support networks mothers rely on every day.

Every attendee is selected for the perspective, influence, or expertise they bring. Every conversation is designed to move beyond awareness and into action. Partners and sponsors are not in the background — they are at the table.
