In 2001, the Global Summit was held in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Association of Business and Professional Women was one of the sponsoring and active associations on the organizing committee working closely with Summit Director Irene Natividad.   As president of the Hong Kong Association of Business and Professional Women, Anna Fang worked with Irene Natividad, the Summit Director on the Global Summit of Women, Hong Kong.

Informally, called the "Davos for Women" by past participants, the Summit has developed a reputation as an exciting, fact-filled, hands-on gathering of high caliber participants. For fourteen years, the Global Summit of Women has celebrated women's leadership worldwide by bringing together women business, professional, and governmental leaders from around the world for three days of stimulating sessions led by opinion leaders and influencers who happen to be women. In 2004, the Global Summit of Women was held in Seoul, Korea and in 2005, the Global Summit was held in Mexico City with over 900 attendees from around the world.

The Summit has been the vehicle for the formation of national and regional networks, for successful business initiatives and for the sheer exchange of ideas and practices that have energized women participating in the global market.

From workshops on strategic networking, the value of exporting, growing microenterprises into mainstream business through trade, to sessions on strengthening women's business associations, and learning how to do business online, the Summit offers learning opportunities for everyone.
