\Women in Business’ Conference Muscat, Oman.
The ‘Women in Business’ conference is attracting great interest from speakers, sponsors and delegates from around the Gulf. It will be held on June 2 and 3 at Shangri La’s Barr al Jissah Resort and Spa in Muscat.
Dr. Sheikha Hissah Saad Abdullah Al Sabah is the latest speaker to join the impressive list of outstanding leaders and successful businesswomen addressing the participants. The Wave has confirmed its position as platinum sponsor, Omantel and Oman Mobile have joined as Partners.
Rihab Al Hajj, business development manager of Envent, said: “We are delighted to be receiving such enormous support from neighbouring countries as well as within the Sultanate and continue to handle many enquiries on a daily basis.
“We are honoured that Dr Sheikha Hissah, chairperson of the Council of Arab Businesswomen, chairperson of Kuwait Businesswomen Committee and also deputy chairperson of Woman Affairs Committee, has given her support to the conference and agreed to be part of this fascinating line-up of speakers.”
Thanks to the generous educational sponsorship of Qalhat LNG, senior undergraduate business students from Sultan Qaboos University and business colleges in Muscat have been invited to attend the conference as delegates, free of charge, while Silver Sponsor Ericsson, is sending all female employees to the groundbreaking event.
“I see this event as very important for women from a variety of backgrounds, countries and industries to gather for good discussion and knowledge sharing,” said Ericsson general manager Peter A Anderson.
“Seeing the participation list of speakers, I am convinced that all attendees will walk out very much empowered and this is exactly why Ericsson Oman is proud to send our employees to this excellent initiative,” he said.
The conference’s Platinum Sponsor, The Wave, will host a visit of the prominent speakers at their project on the 1st June.
Omantel and Oman Mobile will be supporting the conference with the latest technology in telecommunications and two of their senior executives namely, Aneth Arosemena, head of sales and marketing for Oman Mobile and Fathiya Nasser Al Farsi, IT director of Omantel, will share knowledge and expertise with the delegates
The conference is being held under the patronage of Sayyida Aliya bint Thuwaini Al Said, with one of the most prominent group of speakers to be assembled in Oman at any one time.
Delegates will have the opportunity to benefit from inspirational opportunities for mutual support and networking.
The energising event seeks to create new contacts and co-operation, impacting on business in the future.
Impressive speakers include Anousheh Ansari, the first female private space explorer who has received multiple honours including the Working Woman’s National Entrepreneurial Excellence Award, Isabel Aguilera, CEO of Google Spain and Portugal, ranked by Forbes Magazine as one of the 50 most influential businesswomen in the world and Michelle Mone, the self-made, leading UK entrepreneur, who has won many accolades including the ‘World Young Business Achiever Award’, ‘Business Woman of the Year’ and one of the top 30 woman entrepreneurs in the UK.
The powerful line-up continues with Farhana Huq, named as the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2005, Aisha AL-Kharusi, Deputy Director of Strategic Analysis – Middle East, Boeing International, Malak Al Shaibani, general manager of Corporate Affairs for the $2.4 billion Sohar-Aluminium project and Zahra’a Taher, Managing Director of T&M Eventscom, Bahrain.

The packed two-day programme, not only boasts phenomenal speakers but also incorporates productive and interactive workshops, luncheon on both days, valuable networking opportunities, a glittering reception, and an exhibition of sponsors, organisations and companies showing their newest products, services and innovations, providing for face-to-face meeting opportunities with future business contacts.
