2003 Global Summit of Women
Marrakech, Morocco
About the
Global Summit of Women
Informally, called the “Davos for Women” by past participants, the
Summit has developed a reputation as an exciting, fact-filled,
hands-on gathering of high caliber participants. For thirteen
years, the Global Summit of Women has celebrated women’s
leadership worldwide by bringing together women business,
professional, and governmental leaders from around the world for
three days of stimulating sessions led by opinion leaders and
influencers who happen to be women. Prior Summits were hosted by
Montreal, Canada (’90); Dublin, Ireland (’92); Taipei, Taiwan
(’94); Miami, Florida (’97); London, U.K. (’98); Buenos Aires,
Argentina (’99); Johannesburg, South Africa (’00); Hong Kong
S.A.R. (’01); and most recently, Barcelona, Spain (’02).
Continuing its emphasis on promoting women’s participation in the
global market, the 2003 Summit focuses on accelerating women’s
economic development with an emphasis on cross-border business
alliances. The Global Summit of Women’s dynamic quality is a
product of the stimulating presenters and the wealth of diversity
in its participants. The Summit has been the vehicle for the
formation of national and regional networks, for successful
business initiatives and for the sheer exchange of ideas and
practices that have energized women participating in the global
market.
Various trade missions -- from the South Africa, Canada, and
Iceland, to name a few -- of women entrepreneurs are being
organized to join the Summit, illustrating the proactive role that
the Summit fosters regarding women and the global market. From
workshops on strategic networking, the value of exporting, growing
microenterprises into mainstream business through trade, to
sessions on strengthening women’s business associations, and
learning how to do business online, the Summit offers learning
opportunities for everyone.
