The Global Summit of
Women
Informally, called the
“Davos for Women” by past participants, the Summit has developed a reputation as
a gathering of high caliber participants: for fifteen years, the
Global Summit of Women has celebrated women’s leadership by bringing together
outstanding women business, professional, and governmental leaders from around
all corners of the globe. Prior Summits were hosted by Montreal, Canada
(’90); Dublin, Ireland (’92); Taipei, Taiwan (’94); Miami, Florida (’97);
London, U.K. (’98); Buenos Aires, Argentina (’99); Johannesburg, South Africa
(’00); Hong Kong S.A.R. (’01); Barcelona, Spain (’02), Marrakech, Morocco (’03),
Seoul, Republic of Korea (04)and most recently, Mexico City, Mexico (05).
The 2006 Summit will take place June 10-12 in Cairo, Egypt. The Summit
focuses on accelerating women’s economic development through the effective use
of technology, and maximizing the benefit of cross-border business
alliances.
The Summit also features a pre-Summit ministerial roundtable, which
brings together women ministers of varied portfolios to discuss policies that
have positively impacted women’s economic status in their own
countries.
Summit outcomes have ranged from the formation of national and regional
networks to the launch of numerous successful business initiatives to less
tangible results, including the exchange of creative ideas and best practices
that have inspired and energized Summit participants — the women who are
increasingly driving the global economy.
