The Dubai Chapter of 85Broads, the exclusive global network of 30,000 top businesswomen, will host a forum bringing together some of the most successful women from across the region in Dubai.

The fourth edition of the annual Global Forum will be held on May 6 at the Capital Club and will explore the theme ‘Leaders of Change’.

Over the course of the day, a number of panel discussions will take place on thought-provoking topics of particular interest to businesswomen in the UAE, such as ‘Transforming Boards’ and ‘Social Impact’.

A panel under the topic of ‘Career Optimisers’ will also host a number of the first Emirati women to excel in their own industries.

Noor Sweid, founder and co-chair of 85Broads, Dubai Chapter said: "We look forward to this year’s edition of 85Broads Global Forum which will surely be filled with stimulating discussions, inspiring ideas and new partnership opportunities. Our regional network is continuously growing and I am proud to see so many powerful women taking action and making their voice heard in a wide variety of fields.”
