Delegates will come together in Bangkok under the theme of \u201cWomen Revolutionizing Economies,<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> which showcases women\u2019s achievements in raising national GDPs as they increase their engagement in the workplace and entrepreneurship, as well as highlights the ways in which women are altering business models and practices in the future for the benefit of all stakeholders.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Throughout the three-day Summit, in-depth sessions will feature the ways women have been changing the face of economic leadership globally while creating innovative enterprises and leading the fight to preserve the planet\u2019s resources for future growth.<\/p>\n
