This inspiring event was designed to bring together prominent women from diverse fields, including business, diplomacy, social impact and the military, to share their experiences and insights. The Summit format was dynamic, featuring 16 distinguished speakers, each leading a discussion with small groups of eight attendees in topics such as business leadership, diplomatic impact, social initiatives, and military and defense.

This year, some of the proceeds from the Summit, from sponsorship, ticket sales and donations, will be donated to the Association for the Promotion of the Status of Women APSW (The Emergency Shelter). This organisation has provided refuge, healthcare and skills training to survivors of domestic violence and hardship since 1980.
