The 5th Edition of the Womens Forum Global Meeting will be held in Deauville (France) on October 15-17, 2009, under the theme, Think again, Think ahead!

The ground has shifted beneath the feet of our business models and social and economic policies," explains Founder and CEO Aude de Thuin. The Womens Forum for the Economy and Society views moments of rupture like this as an opportunity to advance new ideas, technologies and even paradigms for society and the economy. With their male counterparts, women have a key role to play in the process of creating a more resilient future.

Pragmatic in format and content, the 2009 Forum will immerse 1000 participants from over 80 countries, representing 500 organizations, in a powerful and interactive experience with doers, challengers and young talents including CEOs, business leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists, thinkers, artists, politicians and policymakers. Throughout the meeting the emphasis will be on diversity, trust and solidarity, traits which women exemplify. The global character of the Forum will be enhanced by delegations from the Middle East and Asia.
