4^th EDITION MIDDLE EAST

Women Leaders Summit & Awards 2024

Location:

Dubai, UAE

Location:

22-23 October 2024

Event Overview

Historically, women have always played a prominent role in society and been decision-makers. Contrarily, the roles of women in the workforce have been negligent. As per the global statistics, only 6% of women are working in leadership positions and this number further dipped during the pandemic. We are proud to present the 4th Edition Middle East Women Leaders Summit & Awards 2024. With this summit, we want to progress to another dimension of conversation that moves beyond women’s empowerment. We strongly believe that women have evolved from a paradigm of discussion to a spectrum that challenges the conventional norm of how women are perceived in the workplace.

This platform celebrates the paradigm shift of new-age leadership while paving the way for the next generation of women leaders. Let’s come together to recon this force and encourage women to continue breaking barriers.

We are back with the 4th Edition of the Women Leaders Summit MENA 2024! Personally, this is one of my most cherished summits of the year and one that I am deeply invested in. Women’s strength has been a transformative force throughout my life. I was privileged to be surrounded by strong women, from the comfort of my home to the challenges of the workplace. I had the opportunity to work with leaders who recognized the power within me. This was also one of the major driving factors in starting Verve Management. Here at Verve, we have always believed in gender diversity and are proud of our workforce.

With this summit, we want to take the opportunity to celebrate our strength and support other women in making this world a more beautiful place. Seeing women leaders in various sectors only heightens my aspirations for the next chapter in this wonderful series. I welcome you all to join us on this two-day enthralling summit that will help every aspiring woman elevate her career to the next level. And finally, “Let’s Aspire to Lead the Way!”

Producer's Note

Conference Producer, Verve Management

It gives me great pleasure to announce the 4th Edition of the Middle East Women Leaders Summit & Awards 2024. Women supporting women has always been empowering. We live in exciting times where our opportunities are boundless, and not even the sky is our limit—we have other universes to explore. We live in times where we are empowered by conversation and inclusion. Conversations about the caliber, not the gender, of the person accomplishing the task. Conversations around inclusion, being a part of the workforce, and the development of a nation.

The last edition was a roaring success, with women leaders not just sharing their narratives but also mentoring other women to climb the ladder. Each day, we see policies being developed to not only strengthen our presence in the workforce but also reinforce practically everything we aim to achieve. With this 4th edition, we look forward to celebrating this community of women leaders and supporting each other to accelerate even higher.

With that, we welcome you all to the 4th Annual Women Leaders Summit MENA 2024, an ecosystem where everyone can flourish together.
