From The Participants
“This was the most
exciting conference I have ever attended! I never before met so many great
female role models in such an inspiring environment! I returned home with
wings on my back – they will help me to fly higher in my career. Having
seen so many successful women, I learned that nothing is impossible for us.”
-- Anke Domscheit,
Accenture (Germany)
“Exquisite Summit!
This is a platform for positive growth. Each time, I come back home with
many new ideas and with different energy. I have made four contacts to
market my products in Iceland, Mexico and USA. I also promised to a few
new friends to look for opportunities for them in Canadian markets.
--
Evnur Taran, President, Northern Legacy (Canada)
“The impact of the
Summit is truly impressive. I totally enjoyed meeting so many powerful
women from around the world. I know that it (the Summit) is making a
difference and is a catalyst for change on both a micro and macro level.”
--
Kay Iwata, Principal, K. Iwata Associates (USA)
“That diversity is
one of the strategies for competitive excellence really came through with the
breadth of women represented at the Summit. The fact that women at the top
could be compassionate and empower women who are still microentrepreneurs is the
charm of this Summit.”
--
Ann Sado, Vice President, GEWEL (Japan)
“Realmente yo quede muy impresionada y muy satisfecha por toda la experiencia
misma que me abrio nuevas relaciones y muchas amistades. A lo largo de muchas
anos he tenido la oportunidad de participar en ...muchas reuniones de mujeres,
pero esta experiencia con mujeres (la Cumbre) de las empresas tanto como
propietarias como ejecutivas me dio una ensenanza nueva.”
--
M. Eugenia Lopez Brun, Directora
General, Fruta Prohibida (Mexico)
“The Global Summit of
Women was an amazing experience to have the opportunity to talk to women in
business and women business owners from around the world, including Iraq and
Afghanistan. It solidified how we are all ‘sisters’ and how there is such an
incredible ‘world of opportunity’ for us.”
-- Mary
Schnack, Mary Schnack Media Services (USA)
