The first-ever Forbes 30/50 Summit, a global event gathering generations of women from both the “30 Under 30” list and “50 Over 50” list, will gather in Abu Dhabi in 2022 to mark International Women's Day.

Over the next three years, this unique summit will be hosted in Abu Dhabi, and bring together the most powerful global leaders with the mission of forming world-changing alliances.

Owing to the diverse mix of attendees, cross-generational mentorship will be in focus.

It will also offer diverse perspectives focused on women in leadership and entrepreneurship, and enable rich cultural immersion opportunities.

This includes programming at the Louvre Abu Dhabi and a day of service at Zayed University.

In 2011, Forbes launched “30 Under 30,” the world’s most influential list of young leaders, and it’s now a global phenomenon and community of 10,000 disruptive innovators across 50 countries.

A decade later, in 2021, Forbes and Mika Brzezinski launched another initiative called “50 Over 50,” to celebrate age-defying leaders and entrepreneurs.

"By merging the two communities, we’re in a unique position to activate a worldwide, multigenerational community of leaders who can bring about meaningful change that benefits women everywhere,” said Mika the founder of 'Know Your Value' and co-host of MSNBC's 'Morning Joe'.
