The March 6th-9th gathering will be
chaired by Mika Brzezinski, and encompass the Forbes 30
Under 30 and 50 Over 50 lists
Forbes announced its 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 in Abu Dhabi in March 2022 to mark
International Women’s Day. The news was announced during a special
“50 Over 50” list celebration event featuring a keynote
conversation with U.S. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and “Morning Joe”
co-host and “Know Your Value” founder Mika Brzezinski, who will
chair the new event.
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 with “Know Your
Value” launched another initiative called “50 Over 50,” celebrating
age defying leaders and entrepreneurs. Now, Forbes will bring
together all these inspiring leaders in 2022 for the greatest
gathering of women ever.
Over the next three years, this unique summit will be hosted in
Abu Dhabi, a global city with ambitious plans to become a
sustainable world class capital and knowledge economy. This event
will be a powerful catalyst for change, in a region that has lagged
in gender equality. The summit will bring together the most
powerful global leaders, including honorees from Forbes’ 30 Under
30 and 50 Over 50 lists, with the mission of forming world-changing
alliances. The Forbes 30/50 Summit will focus on creating
cross-generational mentorship opportunities to provide leadership,
guidance, and insights to women at every stage of their career. It
will also offer diverse perspectives focused on women in leadership
and entrepreneurship, and will provide rich cultural immersion
opportunities, including programming at the Louvre Abu Dhabi and a
day of service at Zayed University, which was founded to educate
and empower future generations. On International Women’s Day
itself, hundreds of Summit participants will reveal their most
important lessons, which will then be shared on the Forbes
platforms, “Morning Joe” and others, to empower women across the
world.
“Over the years, Forbes created a global community with
thousands of innovators, gamechangers and rulebreakers around the
world through its 30 Under 30 list,” said Mika Brzezinski,
founder of Know Your Value and co-host of MSNBC's Morning Joe.
“This year, in partnership together, we introduced 50 Over 50 to
shine a bright light on the women who are rewriting the rules for
success and shattering the prevailing misconceptions about age and
gender in the workforce. 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.”
“For so long, International Women’s Day was celebrated virtually
and through a hashtag, but now we’re giving a true home where
conversations can drive change,” said Randall Lane, Chief
Content Officer and Editor, Forbes. “This is the first time that
International Women’s Day will have a physical headquarters where
women leaders can build something together and pay it forward to
future generations. And we’re doing it in a way that allows
insights to be shared with women around the world.”

About Forbes x Know Your Value “50 Over 50”
The “50 Over 50” platform was developed in partnership with
Forbes and Mika Brzezinski with Know Your Value to shine a light on
women over the age of 50 who have achieved significant success
later in life, often overcoming formidable odds or barriers. In
early 2021, Forbes and Know Your Value unveiled its inaugural 50
Over 50 list, and that list soon expanded into different lists
showcasing how women are wielding their influence in politics and
social entrepreneurship, STEM and the arts, finance, and beyond. It
recently expanded globally with 50 Over 50 Asia and 50 Over 50
Europe lists.
