"We are excited that the Dubai conference has once again filled this niche and are honored to have HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, and other esteemed speakers support our efforts to bring together industry leaders."

"I believe that the full potential with which women can contribute to the oil and gas industry is yet to be realized," said Wendy Fenwick, Ernst & Young's Global Head of Oil and Gas.
"Particularly in the current economic environment, it is imperative that women in oil and gas are given this professional forum to express their views on the industry and have opportunity to work collectively to positively influence events."
With around 20 speakers and delegates from every region representing all energy sectors, the conference is set to attract approximately 200 women attendees from across the Pan Arab Region.
