Dear Colleague

We take great pleasure in welcoming you to the Second Edition of “WOMEN LEADERSHIP SUMMIT” on Thursday, August 3, 2017 from 0900 hours to 1700 hours at Serena Hotel, Islamabad, Pakistan. Theme for this summit is “Leading Diversity, Inclusion & High Performance”.

The 20th Century witnessed the crumbling of the career barriers based on race, class and gender. The breakthroughs of the past millennium are becoming the basics of the new millennium. However, the progress remains slow in the area of gender equity.

Women continue to be rare in corporate boardrooms. Most companies are struggling to find senior women executives for board appointments. How can this anomaly be corrected? How must the business and social leadership evolve to meet the expectations of the new generation? What must be the new culture of leadership in the new millennium?

Considering the above imperatives, Nutshell Conferences is organizing a summit on “Leading Diversity, Inclusion & High Performance”. Eminent leaders from business, government, development organizations, media and entertainment will come together at the conference to deal with the key issues concerning women's opportunities and challenges in management roles.

WOMEN LEADERSHIP SUMMIT features intensive debates, keynote talks, conversations, interviews, interactive entertainment and round table discussions.

We're looking forward to great conversations with great colleagues – and that, we hope, includes you! See you in ISLAMABAD at WOMEN LEADERSHIP SUMMIT!

Sincerely

Muhammad Azfar Ahsan Founder & CEO, Nutshell Conferences & Founder, CORPORATE PAKISTAN GROUP

Welcome to the Professional Women's Largest Annual Event in Pakistan

I have always maintained that no nation can ever

be worthy of its existence that cannot take its

women along with men. No struggle can ever

succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world. One

is the sword and the other the pen. However there is a third power

stronger than both, that of the women.

Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah,

Father of the Nation

AREASOF DISCUSSION:

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND?

Pakistan has a population of about 100 million women. We need to ensure that they are provided with equal opportunities in the areas of education and employment. There is a great paradox in our society, we have had a woman Prime Minister and several female Ministers but we still have

many societal roadblocks for the empowerment of women. Women are better leaders, better managers and better teachers. Pakistan should focus on bringing more women into the mainstream

so that they can contribute towards its development.
