Why join the AIWF Impact Circle?
Priority invitations for you and your guests to attend AIWF and partner virtual and in-person events
These include all AIWF and partner events and initiatives, virtually and in-person, built around learning and engagement in the different countries and regions we are active in, including in all Arab States, the UK, Europe, the United States, and Asia. AIWF Impact Circle members are regularly invited to speak at our own and our partner conferences and events (both virtual and in-person), and we often extend invitations received from major conference organisers to our members who are a good fit for the event in question, thereby increasing member visibility and profiles.
Highly targeted networking and B2B opportunities
AIWF connects our members with their counterparts in the Arab region and internationally, creating valuable opportunities for our members to interact with like-minded people and prominent leaders in their fields to share knowledge, contacts, and experiences, but also to open doors for potential collaborations and new business partnerships. Whilst lockdown restrictions are in place, we regularly offer virtual and highly interactive Roundtables that connect business owners from the MENA and beyond with a shared interest in a specific sector, issue, or subject. Once lockdown restrictions have lifted, we will again be hosting Annual Conferences, seminars, and other initiatives, with events alternating between London and major Arab capital cities.
Visibility for your professional achievements, thought leadership, and company / organization milestones
As an AIWF member you can benefit from visibility on our website, newsletter, and social media platforms (AIWF is active on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram). We regularly promote our members’ awards, recognition, and thought leadership and support our members by showcasing their successes and the value of their work within our global advocacy network, helping to create valuable visibility for women leaders in the region and inspiring the next generation in the process.
