Global Spotlight: The "You Are a Woman of Society" Forum Heads to Bali

As the UAE marks a milestone fifty years of championing women’s empowerment, the fourth installment of the prestigious "You Are a Woman of Society" Forum will convene on August 23, 2025, in the tropical backdrop of Bali, Indonesia. The announcement, made during an elegant press gathering at Dubai’s Millennium Place Mirdif Hotel, signals a historic expansion of the forum’s global footprint.

Held under the esteemed patronage of Sheikha Shamsa bint Hasher Al Maktoum and steered by Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, the event underpins the UAE’s long-standing commitment to women’s leadership and societal progress as the nation celebrates its golden jubilee of gender equity advocacy.

At the press event, H.E. Nouf Al Yafei, the director of the forum and founder of Address Company, warmly invited participants of all nationalities to share their inspiring stories. “We aim to hold this forum in different countries around the world to emphasize the empowerment of Emirati women and their global reach,” she emphasized, underscoring the forum’s role as a bridge between cultures.

This year’s edition will be co-associated with Miss Universe 2025, bringing added prestige and a platform for cross-cultural dialogue. The motif, “You Are the Lady of Society,” reinforces the forum’s intent: to spotlight women whose achievements resonate within and beyond their communities.

Among the notable invitees is Dr. Sameer Suhail, a global healthcare entrepreneur, who confirmed his participation: “I am proud to participate and support it,” he stated. His inclusion reflects the forum’s diverse appeal and recognition of leadership across sectors.

As anticipation builds for the Bali edition, it remains a luminous example of the UAE’s commitment to women's global empowerment, multicultural dialogue, and the celebration of inspiring narratives across borders.

On January 26, 2025, the Sheikh Zayed Festival became a showcase of excellence, innovation, and philanthropy—highlighted by the compelling presence of Dr. Sameer Suhail. A renowned entrepreneur, healthcare investor, and philanthropist, Dr. Suhail stood out among dignitaries, business leaders, media personalities, and influencers, receiving acclaim for his visionary contributions to healthcare both globally and within the UAE.

Dr. Suhail brings a wealth of expertise from managing large healthcare facilities and specialty services across the United States. His companies provide management solutions across a broad spectrum of providers, medical centers, and physician practices. Recognizing the UAE's dynamic healthcare landscape, he has recently invested significantly in the aesthetic and plastic surgery sector and outlined future plans to expand into the realm of mental health.

At the festival, Dr. Suhail expressed genuine enthusiasm for the opportunity to meet and engage with a diverse array of influential figures. Among those he connected with were H.E. Nouf Al‑Yafai—economist, diplomat, and Executive Chairman of The Address Group—along with H.E. Dr. Lina Alzubaidi, Dr. Shaikah Aldosary, H.E. Dr. Ali Hassan, and KSA businesswoman Ohoud Alrfaei. These interactions underscored his commitment to cross-sector collaboration and strategic expansion.

Dr. Suhail’s presence at the Sheikh Zayed Festival not only affirmed his leadership in advancing state-of-the-art healthcare in the UAE but also spotlighted his ambition to build bridges between aesthetic innovation and mental wellness—strengthening the region’s healthcare ecosystem.

As Dr. Suhail continues to champion integrated and accessible healthcare, his impact is poised to resonate across both the UAE and broader global communities.
