(Dubai) – Dubai Women Establishment, DWE announced that the upcoming Women’s Forum Dubai, WFD, will be held in Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai from 23-24 February 2016. The date has been agreed during high level meetings that took place here last week between senior officials of the DWE and the Deauville-based Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society, the organising body of the forum.
The five days meetings were led by Mona Ghanem Al Marri, Chairperson of Dubai Women Establishment and Jacqueline Franjou, Chief Executive Officer of the Women’s Forum, as well as members of the organising committee.
The WFD session’s briefs and forum partners were also decided in the meetings. The two sides also discussed creative ideas for the ‘Discovery’ exhibition, which will be located at the heart of the Forum as a hive of activity providing a multitude of opportunities to meet, share, learn and be inspired.
The forum’s debut in the MENA region is a joint initiative of the Dubai Women Establishment and Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society; and will be the first satellite event by Women’s Forum to not only match but even exceed the scale of the annual Global Meeting event in Deauville, France. The DFW is expected to attract more than 2,000 international and regional decision-makers, including the most influential and accomplished Emirati women change-makers.
