To mark its quarter century history, the 2015 Summit will salute women’s achievements while continuing to explore practical strategies and best practices in improving women’s economic status, whether they are corporate initiatives, public policies or NGO programs. The Summit’s unique engagement of the three critical ‘legs’ of change – government, business and civil society – is reflected in its participants, presenters and partners. Over 60 International organizations representing women from five continents are planning to be part of the 2015 Summit in Brazil, along with women government Ministers and multilateral agency executives.


The theme of the 2015 Summit — “Creative Women, Creative Economies” — underscores the innovation that women bring to the world's economies, despite the hurdles they face as workers, managers and entrepreneurs. The Summit will explore the ways women as entrepreneurs and corporate executives are creating opportunities in the business world globally, while working to maintain and conserve increasingly limited natural resources.
The 2015 Summit will inform delegates on how to access the Latin American market, showcase women business and government leaders from the region, provide skills-building sessions, as well as establish networks among such leaders. Join us at the Summit to be inspired by, to learn, and to share lessons with women from seventy economies.
