The annual ‘ALL Women Economic Forum’ global retreat will see women from ALL parts of the world come together in Goa from 7th to 11th May 2015 at the scenic Goa Marriott Resort and Spa. It is open for ALL members and their spouses and guests.

With over a 100 sessions on a range of topics that surround the world of women, ALL WEF will be buzzing with energy of discussion and inspiration. To maximize leadership at ALL levels, we have a plethora of breakfast and lunch Roundtables, each led by a member. The parallel sessions will see an exciting mix of international speakers on an equally fascinating range of topics. The plenary sessions will be led by iconic keynote speakers. The award ceremonies will showcase inspiring women of excellence. The morning walks and evening nightcaps will provide the perfect setting for friendships to foster and solidarity to strengthen.

This year's speakers at ALL WEF reﬂect the dynamic possibilities of our times – where boundaries are merging between hitherto distinct ﬁelds and multiple new opportunities are exploding: the perfect setting for entrepreneurs to tighten their belts and take new leap of faith.

Hear from business leaders, authors, coaches, politicians, start-ups, and young icons in a range of ﬁelds on their experiences and their learnings and where they see the world going. Meet with like-minded and warm-hearted women who believe in the force of positive thinking, who have risen above all odds and are all set to share their blessings and powers with ALL around them.

Be in the company of achievers and creators. Have conversations on business, culture, enterprise, work, society, love and life in the lap of pristine beaches and natural exuberance.

Other goings-on include visiting Goa's churches and synagogues, early morning yoga and late evening prayers on the beach, Moroccan belly dancing, dinner on a cruise on the Mondovi River, leisurely chats with an astrologer. And yes, a lot more of free-ﬂowing surprises.

Be there to be touched and transformed with a magical blend of learning and leisure.

PLATINUM PARTNER GOLD PARTNER SILVER PARTNER WELCOME 1

I welcome you to the ‘ALL Women Economic Forum’ 2015. The ALL WEF Global Retreat in Goa is designed as a scintillating forum for stirring thought leadership among women from ALL strata of society, from ALL spheres of work and from ALL parts of the world.

Just the array of countries that will congregate in Goa in May is mindboggling – we are expecting over 300 delegates from 23 different countries ! It's a never-before-seen moment in history and one that India, the most exciting economy of our times, is leading with gusto for ALL.

The speakers’ range is extensive – reﬂecting the diversity of our inﬂuences, interests and ALL that we imagine ourselves to be. Business leaders, Corporate Coaches, Entrepreneurs, Authors, Icons, Political Stalwarts, Policymakers, Ambassadors, Media personalities et al will come together at the ALL WEF to create a truly vibrant atmospheres of discussion, debate and millennial thoughts.

From the humble conception of ALL WEF to its eventual grand and majestic coming together, the ‘Hand of God’ is evident. Like it was said in “The Alchemist,” the Universe is conspiring to make it happen. It is the blessed realization of a dream. It is the sacred consummation of a desire. It is the need of the hour. It is the call of the future. It is an idea whose time is Now.

The themes of this year reﬂect the new deﬁning wave of our times: Women as Harbingers of Change. Our shared world, torn by growing strife, needs resuscitation by the forces of harmony and happiness; forces that women innately embody and seek to perpetuate. Strengthening thus women's leadership and entrepreneurship is bound to galvanize women as proactive agents of change for self and society on a never-before seen level and scale.

The choice of Goa for this momentous occasion is ideal. Known for its cosmopolitan culture, free-spiritedness and ﬂexibility, it's long been a global hub for creators, thinkers, artists and culturatti alike. Goa celebrates, and we do too, ALL that is new, adventurous, dreamful, visionary, uplifting, and miraculous. It was the apt destination to celebrate cross-continental friendship, creative thinking and the blossoming of the feminine in every woman and man.

At ALL, we believe that the nouvelle vague of women as harbingers of change is destined and designed no less by the forces of the Universe itself. For it is time to reclaim the long-lost love in our lives, the solidarity and sisterhood that every woman and her family should have much of, and the beauty and generosity that our world needs much more of. ALL is not just an association of like-hearted individuals – it is a movement of women toward their truer selves and their stronger potentialities. The ALL WEF is the blessed path on that vision. And so ALL WEF is not just a forum – it is the womb of a new world order.

Come, experience this new awakening and lead this togetherness in motion. With ALL of you, this dream is destined to be.

Dr. Harbeen Arora Global Chairperson, ALL Ladies League (ALL) & Women Economic Forum (WEF) 2 PROGRAM THEMES

Women: The Harbingers of Change Women will lead the new world order. As more women join the workforce, as more women undertake leadership roles, as more women lead political fronts, as more women enter education, as more women connect with more women, as more women feel empowered to communicate and express, as ALL that happens, the world is bound to change. To understand the undercurrents of change through a cross-sectional perspective, ALL WEF has brought four strands of thought to focus on, in order to help women better focus on all that they do and strategize more consciously on future objectives and areas of growth. These four strands will help us vibrantly explore ourselves inside-out. By sorting ourselves from within, helped by the sessions on “Work, Life, & Worldview”; by understanding our various challenges from sessions on “Security & Vulnerability”; and by understanding the dynamism in our daily worlds driven by “Technology, Innovation & Communication” as also “Entrepreneurship & Growth,” we will gain valuable perspectives on how to realign ourselves to our purpose within and to our missions ahead with far more immediacy and innovation, and far greater consciousness and creativity.
