 About

Gateway to the economies of South Eastern Europe --- the Balkans -- Athens, Greece serves as the venue for the 2012 Global Summit of Women, the foremost international economic forum for women leaders in business, government, and civil society.

Beyond its historic treasures and vibrant culture, Greece continues to be a leading exporter of aluminum, nickel, copper, and magnesium.  Known for its leading shipping industry, the Summit will feature women shipowners in the program.  Greece's national network of women entrepreneurs is eager to welcome, to connect, and to form partnerships with their global counterparts through formal business-to-business meetings.

 With its reputation as an exciting, fact-filled, hands-on gathering of high caliber participants, the 2012 Global Summit of Women is delighted to bring its global gathering from over 80 countries to Greece.  Given the current economic crisis, the 2012 Summit focuses on the growth areas in the global economy in which women will play a pivotal role.

What the Summit Means to Women

The Women's Summit...was a symbol of a worldwide understanding which -- using economic relations as its point of departure -- conspires to bring together women from all over the world to form an enormous public-private partnership for long-term change."
 Hon. Ursula von der Leyen, Minister for Labor, Germany

"Participating in the Global Summit in Chile was a fantastic experience. The warmth and receptivity of the women there was inspiring."
 Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Prize Winner (USA)

Seeing one thousand people from 81 countries in a room is impressive. It is even more impressive when you consider that the topic of discussion is women, women’s representation and development,”
Umran Beba, President, Asia-Pacific Region, PepsiCo

Thank you very much for arranging another Global Summit of Women successfully. It is really a true and effective international forum and platform for women across the world, where we can share our thoughts, feelings and experiences globally. Thank you once again for giving me opportunity to deliver my presentation in that august gathering.

What the Press said about the 2011 Global Summit of Women

"Creating more economic opportunities for women like Mrs. Cigdem is among the goals of the 2011 Global Summit of Women meeting through Saturday in Istanbul as a sort of Davos for women, mirroring the annual gathering of world economic leaders at the Swiss resort. Held for the first time in Turkey, the conference is taking place in a country where women, once they find jobs, often struggle to stay in them."
