The Women’s Forum

Founded in 2005 by Aude Zieseniss de Thuin, a French woman entrepreneur, the Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society promotes women’s vision on the economic and social issues that matter most and that are at the heart of the most compelling concerns of our times. Welcoming the world's leading women and men, it is a hub of debate, sharing, brainstorming and action where women are given pride of place for speaking out on all major societal issues that count today and will count tomorrow.

Rated by the Financial Times in 2007 as one of the world’s top five international forums, the Women’s Forum has become in only three years an international must–attend event.
