Event Overview: Building upon the spirit of AIWF’s groundbreaking conferences in Paris, Washington D.C., London and Dubai, the Arab International Women’s Forum was proud and delighted to bring delegations of Arab, European and International business leaders together to meet with their counterparts in Syria for this unique and important event in May 2010. Eminent speakers – ministers, officials and leading women in business from Syria and across the Arab world, Europe and the international community – shared their experiences and best practices with high-level delegates; attended business to business networking receptions to explore alliance opportunities; and enjoyed a series of conference sessions that delivered cutting-edge business intelligence. Through this important event, AIWF succeeded in strengthening existing channels of partnership between women in Syria, the Arab world and the International Community; creating new avenues for investment and creating viable business opportunities for women in business and in public life, representing the world’s most dynamic economies in the Arab region and internationally.
