To all of the full forum delegates, sponsors, volunteers, and other attendees….

THANK you all for making Women Trading Globally such a fantastic event!

The emails and the voice mails are rapidly coming in, and everyone is saying that the "energy, the buzz, the business linking, the contacts made, and the incredible inspirational stories, etc. have all been fantastic" and "above and beyond what they expected".

We know that the Iraqi and Jordanian delegation were very pleased with the warm welcome and the opportunity to be a part of this. A very special thanks to Amanda Ellis and Aya Okajima and World Bank support for making this happen! Their involvement escalated our forum to a true global level.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks and deep appreciation to the hard-working and dedicated people who made this happen. We thank everyone for pulling together to ensure the overall success of Women Trading Globally, and I invite each of you to take a moment to thank the following people who were a part of this GLOBAL conference. Without their commitment and support to come together, this event would never have happened.

Below, please find some pictures of the event starting with the wonderful opening event at the Vancouver Aquarium with Premier Gordon Campbell and Jim Rager, Vice Chairman, RBC Financial Group following with pictures of the 2 day forum highlighting the amazing synergy between these women, featuring leading global presenters and special guests, while finishing with the Wrap Up Party at the UBC Museum of Anthropology where we were honoured with the singing and dancing of the acclaimed Robert Davidson and his team of wonderful dancers.
