2-day Mena Businesswomen Forum begins in Dubai
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 04 - 2012

Dubai Business Women Council (DBWC) Thursday inaugurated the first edition of the Mena BWN Forum, the annual gathering of the members of the Mena Businesswomen's Network (BWN) that will run until April 13, 2012 at Park Hyatt in Dubai.
Held under the patronage of Sheikha Lubna Al-Qasimi, UAE Minister of Foreign Trade, the Mena BWN Forum is gathering delegates from all 10 Mena BWN member organizations across the Gulf, the Levant and North Africa, as well as participants from the US, Europe, and other parts of the Mena region.
The inaugural Mena BWN Forum is being organized under the theme “Unleashing the Economic Potential of Women in the Mena Region”. DBWC, a founding member of the Mena BWN and the local host of the Forum, has further revealed that representatives from different business organizations and academic institutions, including 8 students from Dubai University and 6 students from Dubai Women's College, are attending the Forum.
Raja Al Gurg, President, Dubai Business Women Council, said: “The enthusiastic response we have received from women leaders underlines the strategic importance of the Mena BWN Forum as a platform that will unite our efforts in providing a wide range of networking, mentoring and skills-building support to women across the region. This is a proud moment for the Dubai Business Women Council and the rest of the members of the Mena BWN as we take a huge step forward towards realizing our shared vision of promoting women empowerment in the Arab world. The Forum serves as an important avenue to address key issues and to showcase the achievements of women leaders, particularly businesswomen who have served as role models in the society.”
The Mena BWN Forum serves as a unique peer-to-peer event that builds on the power of the Mena BWN and the shared experiences of its members to provide each participant with the specific, hands-on skills and contacts necessary to transform and grow their business.
DBWC will also facilitate at least 25 workshops throughout the Forum covering key topics such as networking, skills-building, branding, business management, women in the corporate world, social media, entrepreneurship, and family businesses among others.
