There are conferences, and then there are moments in history.

This November, the Women’s Empowerment Council (WE Convention 2025) in Dubai is shaping up to be exactly that: a gathering of visionaries, disruptors, and global change-makers redefining what it means to lead, create, and rise.

Hosted at the breathtaking Atlantis The Royal, this year’s theme,  “All In: Career, Money & Life”, couldn’t be more timely. Because this isn’t just about women showing up; it’s about women scaling up.

A Line-Up That Redefines Influence

From fashion and media to science, politics, and business, the speaker list reads like a masterclass in leadership and legacy:

  • Anna Wintour, Global Editorial Director of Vogue and Chief Content Officer of Condé Nast — the woman who reshaped culture through creativity, discipline, and audacity.
  • Candace Bushnell, international bestselling author and creator of Sex and the City — proving that storytelling can shift entire generations.
  • H.E. Ohood Al Roumi, UAE’s Minister of State for Government Development and the Future — championing visionary governance and purposeful progress.
  • H.E. Hala Badri, Director General of the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, leading one of the world’s most creative and forward-thinking cities.

And with 100+ international speakers across industries, the WE Convention isn’t just a conference, it’s a collision of influence.

Why I’m Excited to Be Here

As a business strategist and global mentor, I’ve spent my career helping leaders and brands build what doesn’t exist yet,  creating their own tables rather than waiting for a seat.

That’s why this event matters. It’s not about inspiration in isolation: it’s about activation. These conversations lead to collaborations, investments, and ideas that transform economies, not just careers.

Dubai has become the epicentre of ambitious leadership, a city that rewards bold vision and fearless execution. It’s the perfect backdrop for women ready to build, scale, and expand without borders.

The Bigger Picture

Events like this remind us of a simple truth:  When women connect, share knowledge, and rise together, entire industries shift. Whether you’re leading a company, launching a start-up, or designing your next chapter, the WE Convention is a front-row seat to the future of leadership.

Because in 2025 and beyond, the most valuable currency is alignment.
