“The
FORBES WOMAN AFRICA Regional Forum will echo the same fervor and sentiment as the
flagship Leading Women Summit but in hosting it for the first time in East
Africa, what I am very keen on is coming face-to-face with the women who are at
the top of their game in this region – the guests and speakers on the day will
be luminaries you don’t want to miss meeting,” says Renuka Methil, Managing
Editor of FORBES AFRICA and FORBES WOMAN AFRICA.



As an initiative by the FORBES WOMAN AFRICA Leading Women Summit, the full-day, not-to-be-missed event, which will debut in the East African nation, is to be hosted at the Kigali Serena Hotel and will feature some of the exciting content FORBES WOMAN AFRICA has consistently won awards for.

We are proud to partner with Forbes Africa and believe that this initiative will help to create opportunities for women to reach their greatest potential.”
