On March 14, 2005, 1000 students, educators and leadership professionals from over 36 countries will gather in Dubai, United Arab Emirates to open "Women as Global Leaders: Educating the Next Generation." Zayed University will host this landmark three-day leadership conference, which will focus on leadership education and the roles of women as leaders in their respective countries.

The conference format will include presentations by prominent world leaders and personalities, opportunities for participants to interact with these leaders, as well as papers, simulations and workshops.
