Over the past decade, the Forbes 30 Under 30 has become the world’s most important honor for young entrepreneurs and leaders, while a new list, the 50 Over 50, which showcases how, for women, experience and wisdom and leadership mean that success no longer has an expiration date.
The location: one of the world’s great crossroads, Abu Dhabi, the vibrant capital of the United Arab Emirates. We’ll use this event as a catalyst for change. Our venues will be some of the finest in the world, from the UAE’s presidential palace to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, to an unforgettable closing event in the desert.
The key to this event: Mentoring. Everyone from these communities–along with other world leaders from policy, business and NGOs–will be asked to share, and forge new bonds, to work together to make participants smarter about technology, about leadership, about everything that it takes to lead. And to create relationships that will last a lifetime.
