You didn’t want the conversation to end.

At the conclusion of CWS Dubai at the Ritz Carlton, women told us they wanted more time together, more opportunities to connect, and more space to continue the conversations that began in the room. So in 2027, we’re extending the transformational CWS experience.

An exclusive gathering for clarity, confidence, decisive direction, and meaningful connection.

We bring together an exceptional community of thought leaders, industry pioneers, and change-makers in one room to exchange ideas, challenge perspectives, and build relationships that extend well beyond the summit.

This curated, intimate experience is designed for senior corporate women, including Senior Managers, Directors, VPs, and Heads of Function across Legal, Technology, AI, HR, Finance, Product, Banking, Healthcare, Cybersecurity, Media, Privacy, Compliance, Retail, Beauty, Real Estate, Marketing, and Operations.

It is for women who are ready to stop waiting for permission to lead, scale, and take up space. CWS is a movement toward greater career advancement, recognition, influence, and economic independence.

When women align, intentionally collaborate, they shift trajectories and make greater impact.

We don’t beg to be invited to the table, we create the table. We take charge of our destinies and make great things happen.

We have the global consulting experience – USA, London, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Zurich, Brussels.

Testimonials & Accolades

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
“Belinda Enoma, I Start and Finish, fireside chat at the Atlanta, Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers was a timely and thought-provoking discussion that brought together diverse perspectives on one of the most critical issues of our time. She provided deep insights into the ethical, regulatory, and technological challenges surrounding AI development and deployment. What stood out most was the emphasis on collaboration between policymakers, technologists, and the broader public to ensure AI serves humanity responsibly. Industry professionals were empowered and left the session with a clearer understanding of both the urgency and the opportunity we have to shape AI governance frameworks that are transparent, inclusive, and future-ready.”

“My mother once told me that to be cautious of what I say because you never know who’s watching. I teach high school seniors Computer Science and, today, instead of learning about loops, we decided to watch the summit and they were amazed and happy to see people that looked like them in important and high positions. Thank you! Some of the takeaways they received were the importance of storytelling, humbling yourself, working hard, and putting yourself out there. This event gave them the inspiration to push further thus helping them overcome many of the obstacles they or society set for them.”
