2026 IWD Summit ｜
The Era of Caring Intelligence

Where Silicon Meets Humanity: Taiwan’s Flagship Leadership Event

For seven consecutive years, CAREhER’s International Women’s Day Summit has been where the region’s most influential leaders come to talk about the future. In 2026, we’re raising the bar with a timely theme: The Era of Caring Intelligence.

Why This Matters

This year’s Summit sits at a uniquely powerful intersection. Taiwan is central to the global AI supply chain and trusted technology infrastructure. But the most urgent leadership challenge remains deeply human: how we build systems—at home, at work, and in society—that are resilient because they are built to help us provide better care.

Because in an AI-driven world, intelligence is no longer the headline. Care is.

For us, the next frontier isn’t just faster models or bigger computing powers— it’s whether technology can genuinely absorb the weight we’ve normalized: the invisible labor, the mental load, the caregiving gap, and the always-on complexity that quietly taxes women leaders the most.

The Lineup: A Global Powerhouse

To bridge the “Caregiving Gap,” this summit brings together a focused, high-caliber mix of leaders shaping both the AI era and its human outcomes:

• The Builders: Bechtel, the world’s premier engineering and construction firm.

• The Intelligence: Google and NVIDIA—the pillars of the AI revolution.

• The Human Application: Salesforce and the Netherlands’ leading innovation experts.

• Public Policy: Cynthia Kiang (Deputy Minister of Ministry of Economic Affairs), Ruth Bradley-Jones (British Representative).

You’ll end the day with an intimate networking dinner designed for depth, not small talk—because the right conversations rightfully begin when the panel ends.

This year’s summit will be held at space 88 inside the iconic Taipei 101 on March 6, 2026. Following the panels will be an exclusive, private networking dinner at The Residence, at Grand Hyatt Taipei.
