Abu Dhabi May, 18 2015

HE Sheikha Dr Hind Al Qassimi is scheduled to deliver the opening address at the upcoming International Women's Peak Performance Summit  on Saturday May 23 2015 at the Eastern Mangroves Hotel and Spa by Anantara, Abu Dhabi.

Under the Patronage of the Business Professional  Women's Group Emirates Club and BPW Middle East more than 100 delegates are set to take part in the inaugural event, said to be 'the first of its kind in the UAE'.

According to the Summit organisers, seven dynamic presenters will deliver a series of high-impact 30-minute masterclasses across Finance, Career, Emotional Intelligence, Physical, Mental, Social and Environment.

"The up-beat programme will also close on a high with a 'Sense the Rhythm Feel the Beat' drumming session led by Julie-Ann Odell," said joint organiser, Anna Heystek, also director of Escape Events.

Meanwhile, adventurer and business consultant, Julie Lewis of Mountain High fame said that the event looks set to bring a cross-cultural and cross generational group of participants. 

"This has the makings of a sensational day full of high-energy content delivered by some of the region's edgy thought-provokers. Certainly I expect a lot of compelling conversation to be stirred," said Lewis, also joint organiser of the initiative.

She confirmed the Summit has attracted support from by several business groups and educational institutions, including Etihad airways.

"For anyone wanting to make a weekend of it, Summit delegates have special rate at our host hotel, the Eastern Mangroves Hotel and Spa by Anantara, Abu Dhabi," Lewis concluded.
