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.

It has been my
pleasure to have been with such an amazing team of great
women that made things happen no matter what. The summit
was inspiring for me and I truly appreciate that you
made me a part of it.
Deniz Misir, Area Director, Netherlands

on a highly successful event. My 'take-aways' are

from others."

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."
