Women in leadership forum to address current economic conditions
Under the Patronage of HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, Wife of HH
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime
Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai the Women in Leadership Forum
(WIL Forum) will take place in Dubai from the 25th-27th October 2009.
Organised by naseba, a leading business
information company, the WIL Forum will offer the ideal environment for
up to 500 businesswomen and leaders to set trends, influence, innovate
and leverage women’s participation in the global business world. With
an acclaimed line up of leading politicians, global business leaders,
policy makers, professionals and women entrepreneurs, the Forum will
investigate real change and the impact on women’s roles in today’s
competitive world. It will also present the perfect platform to explore
the opportunities for growth between the GCC countries and the
international market.
“It gives me great pleasure to support the leading women of the Arab
world as they continue to expand their horizons and strengthen their
positions in the global political and business arena,” stated Princess
Haya. “Arab women play a significant role in the development of
societies and economies, particularly in the UAE where there is a
strong focus on women and reinforcing their contribution to the public
and private sectors. The upcoming Women in Leadership Forum will not
only provide the delegates with a platform to meet with some of the
most influential women in the region but also provide an opportunity to
explore the opportunities for growth between the GCC states and the
international market.”
Keynote addresses and plenary sessions will uncover innovative
strategies, address the challenges of today’s economic climate and
inspire all attendees with the success stories of the region’s most
influential women. Some of the confirmed speakers include: Fatima Al
Jaber, COO, Al Jaber Group; Shimi Shah, CEO, Forsa; and Raja Easa
Al-Gurg, President, Dubai Business Women Council.
On October 25th 2009, ‘The Women Achievement Awards Ceremony’ will
be held, recognising businesswomen who have broken new ground in the
business world as well as outstanding achievers.
