WILD, the revolutionary female networking platform, comes to KSA for its second WILD Riyadh event on 28 February from 8.30 am to 10:30 am at VOV Gaming, The Zone. A line-up of female guest speakers will offer their views, knowledge, expertise, and inspiring stories of how they surmounted hurdles in their lives and careers, paving the way for gender equality in the region.

The guest speakers include the Founder and CEO of WILD – Emma Burdett; Director of Architecture, Red Sea Global – Reem Abuzeid; Project Director, Diriyah Company – Theresa Maher; Associate at PIF – Noha Zagzoug; and Group Chief HR Officer, ROSHN – Nasreen Al-Dossary. Participants can expect to hear from and network with current and future leaders in the region. The event will highlight the significance of creating communities in which women can engage, connect, be heard, and prosper, all critical elements in the pursuit of gender equality.
Emma has been in the region for nine years, working in the corporate sector, initially in the manufacturing industry. “My degree is in supply chain management, although I’ve always had business development roles,” she explains. “I founded WILD in 2018 and wrote the concept from scratch after creating a smaller women’s network in 2016 on behalf of a company I worked for. I spotted a niche in the Middle East for a women’s platform to bring both existing and future leaders together, to share knowledge and expertise, collaborate and support one another in the quest for gender equality. WILD is for the corporate woman.”

The event partner for WILD Riyadh is the design and build company, INC Group, which worked on the host venue. “It is a traditional gaming center with gaming seats and huge screens. The message overall is gaming is not just for men,” Emma says.
Nermeen Zeineddine, Design Lead – KSA at the INC Group, states: “The INC Group is pleased and excited to support this second WILD event in KSA. At the INC Group, being a female-led workforce, we believe in the importance of women in the workplace and the added value they give to the spirit, productivity, and discipline of the office. Hence, the decision to get involved in WILD was an easy decision. At INC, we believe WILD is the perfect platform for all female colleagues and invited guests to connect, collaborate, and conquer in their lives and professional careers. It will help to continue to provide equal rights and empower all females to grow and pursue success in their respective careers. Stay Wild, Inspire More.”
“We are so incredibly excited about our expansion into KSA. This second event will see 100 women from the region come together, network with purpose and leave feeling motivated and inspired. The event is also the official launch of our unique membership, WILD Women Collective. The only women’s platform to connect women across borders.” Emma concludes.
