Bangkok to Host 30th Global Summit of Women in April

Over 1,000 female leaders are expected to attend the Global Summit of Women in Bangkok from 23 to 25 April 2020.

The event, the 30th anniversary of the summit, is expected to generate about 80 million Baht in revenue for the Thai economy.

The opening ceremony will be presided over by Thai Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha, who will also deliver the keynote speech.

Key women ministers from several countries in ASEAN, as well as some from as far away as Africa and South America, are also expected to attend the ceremony.

“We look forward to bringing a global gathering of women to Thailand, world-renowned for its beauty, but not yet as well-known for its dynamic economy, where many women lead enterprises of all sizes,” said Ms. Irene Natividad, President of the Global Summit of Women. “Thailand ranks high in women’s economic participation, both regionally and globally, making it an ideal venue under the 2020 Summit theme: ‘Women: Revolutionise Economies’. This reflects women’s roles in raising national GDP globally, as they entering the workforce as managers and altering business models and practices now and in the future.”

In 2019, the Global Summit of Women was held in Basel and attracted 1,065 Delegates from 70 Countries.

According to the event's website, the summit was created "as the nexus at which all sectors – public, private and nonprofit – would come together under the common vision of dramatically expanding women’s economic opportunities globally through exchanges of working solutions and creative strategies forged by women leaders in different parts of the world. It is a business summit, whose ‘business’ focus is women’s advancement in the global economy."
