The 2013 Annual Summit of the "Women in Parliaments Global Forum" (WIP)

The WIP Annual Summit 2013 is the first time that all 9000 female Parliamentarians in the world are invited to gather in a unique conference, which will in fact make the WIP Annual Summit an unprecedented occasion to discuss the issues on the Global Agenda from the perspective of female political leaders. The programme outlines an outstanding selection of speakers for the Keynote presentations, at the five Interactive Plenary Debates, the WIP Award Ceremonies and the Working Groups, including Nobel Prize Winners, Heads of Government, European Commissioners, Ministers, Academics and high profile representatives of the Civil Society and Philanthropy. Next to the support of the European Parliament, WIP is also cooperating with UNDP, UN Women, the World Economic Forum, IPU, the World Bank, iKNOW Politics, NDI, EY, Transparency International and others, who will all be represented at the WIP Annual Summit.

Participants, speakers, and supporters of the WIP Annual Summit 2013 can be assured of a truly global audience. More information about the WIP Annual Summit 2013 you can find here: www.wip-gf.net/events
