The 7th Edition of the Women's Forum Global Meeting was held on 13-15 October 2011 in Deauville, France.
2011 is proving itself a year of the improbable becoming reality. From the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia to the earthquake in Japan, the world we took for granted has been knocked off its axis, to land in unanticipated new configurations and arrangements.
The Women’s Forum has chosen for its 7th edition to draw inspiration from these remarkable events, and to hold the 2011 Global Meeting on the theme of What if?: Challenge, imagination, commitment. The focus was on what the future could bring us, politically, economically, socially, and technologically, and what committed actors can do to tip the balance for a better world. Unique to the Women’s Forum, women’s voices and perspectives are featured along with their male counterparts in plenaries addressing scenario-driven major issues for people and the earth. The spirit of the plenary discussions – and the 7th edition overall – is to forecast how our world is changing, and what we can do to shape this change.
The Discovery, the Forum’s renowned off-program, has been revitalized to become My Discovery, a series of opportunities for Forum participants to meet, learn, and share with one another in smaller meetings and workshops. The program for My Discovery is built these session formats:
- Interact: Engaging debates on subjects related to the plenary issues
- Inspiring manager: Hands-on workshops to build your management skills
- Exploring the future: Intimate encounters with inventors and their inventions, the chance to try out scenario exercises
- Well-being and culture: Discovery Corners where you can meet, relax, indulge, and dream.
My Discovery addresses women as women in sessions covering diversity, career advancement, entrepreneurship, and health and well-being. It also speaks to women and men alike as managers, technology users, philanthropists, readers, and gourmets. The menu is rich and à la carte for people to create their own experiences and moments.
In 2011 an enlarged group of CEO Champions and the Women’s Forum Delegation from Brazil added their voices to the Forum’s international community of leaders. The Rising Talents and the Cartier Women’s Initiative – both with 5th anniversaries this year – brought entrepreneurial drive from all the continents. Another innovation: networking lunches, organized geographically and by sector and specialization.
