Women as Entrepreneurs, Consumers and Agents of Change

The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center – Pavilion Room
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20004

Once underrepresented in business, women in emerging markets are becoming a powerful economic force – as business leaders, entrepreneurs and newly empowered consumers – causing businesses to stand up and take notice.

Join us for the latest knowledge, resources and best practices on this important topic.



Leading an impressive roster of speakers is business executive Carly Fiorina (Smith MBA ’80), Chairman and CEO of Carly Fiorina Enterprises and founder of the Fiorina Foundation. The Foundation supports The One Woman Initiative, operating under the premise that the world benefits when one woman is empowered.

Other distinguished speakers include:

Rupert Scofield – President and CEO, FINCA and author of The Social Entrepreneur’s Handbook
Rohini Pande – Mohammed Kamal Professor of Public Policy, Harvard University
Shari Berenbach – Director, Microenterprise Development, USAID
