We are delighted to announce the latest edition of the Women in Construction/ED&I Summit & Awards, taking place in Dubai on 1 October 2025.
This year’s event combines the Summit and Awards in a single day, creating a powerful, comprehensive forum that is both a tribute to progressive gender reforms and a celebration of the companies and personalities delivering lasting change. It’s a flagship occasion for everyone committed to gender equality and reform in the construction sector.
This year’s summit focuses on three key themes discussing – and aimed to empower – gender equality:
- Aligning businesses with the existing legislation regarding women at work and giving a practical toolkit whereby employees can effectively lobby for change
- Women’s inclusiveness in company team-building activities; the critical role of women in client liaison and project delivery
- Women in leadership: how to ensure that gender representation doesn’t falter at the crucial stages of promotion and seniority
The Women in Construction/ED&I Awards – now comprises 20 categories!
In 2025, the Women in Construction/ED&I Awards have expanded substantially, and feature 20 categories highly relevant to the GCC’s construction narratives. Spanning key issues rooted in the quest for women’s workplace equality – as well as a raft of crucial ED&I agendas – they ensure that there’s a relevant category for every niche and style of business.
The awards feature categories for both individuals and organisations; they benchmark every style of activism, from women’s team-building initiatives, women’s representation on the C-Suite, and a commitment to ease of access for people of determination.
Nominations for the Awards can be made via the event website: https://2025.wicsummitandawards.com/
