Masterclass: Virtual Roundtable on Active Allyship: Engaging Leaders in Gender Equity

Masterclass date: Friday 17th April 2026

**This WiBF Masterclass offers 1 CPD Point**

Gender equity is often framed as a solely benefitting women but in reality greater equality benefits everyone. True progress is only possible when men, who are over-represented in senior leadership positions, become active participants in the change. While many men express support for gender equality, far fewer actively challenge bias, call out double standards, or advocate for systemic change.

This is where the real opportunity lies.

We invite you to an interactive virtual roundtable where leaders, consultants, and industry influencers will come together to tackle an important question: How do we move men from passive supporters to active drivers of gender equity in workplaces and society?

What We’ll Discuss:

• – The Power of Active Allyship: Why “believing in equality” isn’t enough—and what differentiates performative allyship from meaningful action.
• – Beyond Optics: Embedding Accountability: How some organisations are creating accountability regarding gender equity efforts (including KPIs and leadership evaluations)
• – Single-Gender Learning Spaces: The role of men-only and women-only spaces in unpacking unconscious bias and shifting culture.

Why You Should Attend:

• – Gain insights from the latest research on gender equity and workplace inclusion.
• – Engage in bold, solution-focused conversations with executives and industry leaders.
• – Leave with practical strategies to implement in your workplace and leadership practice.

Date: Friday 17th April 2026
Time: 8:30 am – 11:00 am AEST
Location: Zoom Meeting
