The Forbes 30/50 Summit 2022 | Forbes | 5 March 2022 | TBA, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

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.

In 2022, we’re going to do something unprecedented, drawing from both these communities–the young super-achievers who innovate and the legends and icons with priceless experience–to create what should be the greatest global event for women in history, the summit take place during International Women’s Day.

The location: one of the world’s great crossroads in Abu Dhabi. 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.

That’s especially true on International Women’s Day, when every Summit participant becomes a teacher, and almost any woman or girl in the world can become a student. Attendees will present on something they’ve mastered, which we’ll share via the Forbes platform, “Morning Joe,” and others. Rather than just a hashtag, International Women’s Day will have a gathering worthy of it.

Please note: agenda timing and event venues are subject to change. Our team is monitoring COVID-19 and its impact on in-person gatherings. The UAE will require vaccination and COVID-19 testing prior to entering Abu Dhabi, and Forbes will arrange daily testing during the event. All major sessions and events will take place outside.
