2026 Women in Super Conference

Building a fairer retirement future for women 

Women's retirement outcomes remain one of the most significant and persistent challenges facing Australia's retirement income system. 

Despite decades of progress, women continue to retire with lower levels of superannuation, less financial security and poorer retirement outcomes than men. These inequities are driven by structural factors that accumulate over a lifetime, including the gender pay gap, workforce participation patterns, caring responsibilities and broader economic inequality. 

Addressing these challenges requires more than incremental change. It requires bold thinking, informed debate and a collective commitment to creating a retirement income system that delivers fair, adequate and sustainable outcomes for all. 

The Women in Super Annual Conference brings together leaders from across superannuation, government, academia, advocacy and industry to explore the ideas, evidence and reforms that will help shape the future of women's economic security. 

Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, workshops and interactive conversations, attendees will examine the structural drivers of inequality, challenge long-held assumptions underpinning Australia's retirement income system and explore practical pathways towards a fairer future. 

A key feature of this year's conference will be the launch of Putting a Gender Lens on Australia's Retirement Income System: Ten Policy Principles for a Fair, Adequate and Sustainable Future – a significant new framework designed to inform future policy, industry practice and reform. 

This is more than a conference. It is an opportunity to engage with the people, ideas and conversations driving progress on one of the most important issues facing the superannuation sector and the millions of Australian women who rely on it. 

Whether you work in member outcomes, policy, strategy, governance, communications, advocacy, people and culture or leadership, the Women in Super Annual Conference offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding, broaden your perspective and contribute to the discussions helping shape a fairer retirement future.
