One Day. Real Stories. Practical Support.
Your roles are many, this day is for all of them. The 2025 Sage Women’s Day is designed for women in finance who lead in more ways than one. Whether you manage a practice, drive corporate strategy, or balance spreadsheets and school runs, this is your space to reflect, reset, and rise.
One day. Focused on the tools, stories, and support that make your load lighter, and your voice louder.

She Doesn’t Clock Out, And Yet, She Powers South Africa’s Economy
Women in finance do more than balance books, they balance lives, expectations, and entire ecosystems.
From tax compliance to team leadership, household duties to mentorship, their contribution is constant,
and often invisible.
The 2025 Sage Women’s Day with CIBA honours this unseen resilience. This event is dedicated to the
professionals who never clock out, even when the workday ends. Through shared stories, practical sessions,
and innovative tools, we lighten the load and spotlight the strength behind the spreadsheets.
Join us to connect, reflect, and empower the woman who carries it all, in her practice, her family,
and her profession.
Various inspiring presenters will be presenting on the day.
Our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors whose support has made this event possible
