'Women in Business' conference Oman

'Women in Business' conference will be held in Oman under the patronage of Sayyida Aliya bint Thuwaini Al Said. With one of the most prominent group of speakers to be assembled in the country at any one time, the two-day event will herald the beginning of an annual event with the inaugural conference set to take place at Shangri La's Barr al Jissah Resort and Spa on June 2.

These days the high status Omani women enjoy is reflected in the priority accorded to them in the country's development plans. Women account for half the Sultanate's population and are encouraged to play their part in the country's economic development alongside their male counterparts.

During the conference delegates will be inspired and enthralled by the keynote speakers who are themselves outstanding leaders and successful businesswomen from around the world, lending their credibility and clout to this event.

Organisers Envent are recommending that delegates book early due to the great interest already being expressed in this significant event, both locally in the Sultanate and beyond.
