GAH Elite Club has announced plans to host the International Women’s Day 2026 (IWD 2026) in Lagos, Nigeria, positioning the event as a high-impact platform for women’s leadership, collaboration, and measurable transformation.
Dr. Princess Oghene, Founder of GAH Elite Club and a recognised authority in business leadership, education, and institutional development, emphasized that global conversations around women’s empowerment must evolve into tangible, measurable outcomes.
In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by Media Consultant Bolatito Adebola, Oghene described the 2026 edition as a strategic convergence of influence, leadership, and transformation among women across industries.
International Women’s Day 2026 Theme: The Power of Collaboration
Scheduled for April 11 in Lagos, the event will centre around the theme: “The Power of Collaboration.”
According to Oghene, this theme reflects a shift from symbolic unity to intentional partnerships, strategic visibility, and collective advancement in leadership, enterprise, and global influence.
“We are moving beyond celebration into structure. Beyond conversations into execution.
This is where women stop showing up randomly and start showing up strategically.”
This approach signals a new direction in how International Women’s Day is being redefined within the GAH ecosyste from awareness-driven participation to action-oriented impact and strategic positioning.
From Awareness to Action: Redefining Women’s Empowerment
The GAH Elite Club aims to bridge a critical gap in women’s advancement, the lack of structured collaboration among high-impact women.
Rather than hosting a conventional event, IWD 2026 is designed as a results-driven platform focused on:
- Building strategic alliances among women leaders
- Driving enterprise growth and wealth creation
- Strengthening leadership influence and policy engagement
- Enhancing media visibility and narrative ownership
- Promoting cross-industry collaboration and innovation
This intentional framework ensures that participants move beyond conversations to real execution and measurable outcomes.
A Curated Gathering of High-Impact Women Leaders
The International Women’s Day 2026 event will bring together a carefully selected group of women whose work extends beyond personal success to institutional impact, industry leadership, and global influence.
Expected attendees include:
- Corporate executives
- Entrepreneurs and business leaders
- Global professionals
- Media and communications experts
Oghene described the event as a curated convergence rather than a general assembly, emphasizing quality engagement over large attendance.
“This is not an attendance-driven event; it is an outcome-driven platform designed to showcase the positive impact of women in society.”
Driving Strategic Visibility and Collaborative Growth
A key focus of IWD 2026 will be helping women position themselves strategically in their industries while leveraging collaboration for growth.
The event will highlight:
- Strategic branding and visibility for women leaders
- Partnership opportunities across industries
- Scalable business and leadership models
- Practical frameworks for resilience and execution
Speakers will share real-life experiences and actionable insights, making the event a space for activation, alignment, and advancement.
“This is not just about women coming together. It is about women rising together—strategically and powerfully.”
