Be part of the legacy!
This is your chance to experience one of the most prestigious gatherings of leaders, innovators, and changemakers. With the majority of seats reserved for invitation-only guests, a very limited number of tickets are available to the public, and they sell out fast. Don’t miss your opportunity to be part of an unforgettable day of inspiration, networking, and influence. Once tickets are gone, access closes. Reserve yours now, be part of the legacy.
All ticket buyers will be entered into a draw to win 1 of 3 private invitation to our Award Ceremonies at the House of Lords on the 15th of April, an event normally accessible by invitation only.
Attend the Forum, and you could find yourself celebrating at one of the most iconic venues in the country!

The Arab Women Week will bring together an exceptional audience of business VIPs, decision-makers, and trailblazers for a dynamic program. We will explore many topics including the role of female entrepreneurship in shaping economies, both macro and micro, its impact on society, and the future of business across sectors. Topics will span technology and AI, finance, energy, innovation, ethical scale-ups, empowerment, and policy-making, all through the lens of leadership and growth.
This week will be opened by The Rt Hon The Lady Mayor Dame Susan
Langley DBE, the 3rd woman to be a mayor of the City of London, and the first to hold the title ‘Lady Mayor’ in 697 mayors in over 800 years. The lady mayor will be accompanied by ceremonial unit of the Honourable Artillery company, the oldest regiment in the British Army.
The week will also feature our prestigious Arab Women Awards Ceremony at the House of Lords, alongside a one-time reception at the Royal Society, founded in 1660, celebrating Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and opening the dialogue between inventors, investors, researchers, and policy makers.
The week will also feature exclusive announcements, strategic partnerships, VIP tours of some of London’s most iconic institutions, including the UK House of Lords, Mansion House and the Royal Society, as well as exciting prize draws throughout the program.
