RIBA Gulf chapter and AIA Middle East discuss how women, who are living and working in the UAE, are inspiring inclusivity in architecture and design. This evening will showcase and tell the stories of diverse women with varied roles within the industry.
Design heroes, diversity and inclusion idols, and women from across the world who are changing our industry's face tell their stories and share their trailblazing work. Uncover the hidden and accomplished voices that delve into the narratives of empowerment and equality whilst illuminating a path forward that honours achievements and nurtures a future where every individual's full potential - regardless of gender - is realised.
Our panellists will open up these discussions to cover the breaking down of barriers, promoting inclusivity, and paving the way for women to be both seen and heard.
