About the Women Leaders Breakfast

The Women Leaders Breakfast, Formula 1 Edition I, brings a small circle of women founders, executives and investors together at W Abu Dhabi on Yas Island during the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend. It runs on the morning of Friday 4 December 2026, from 9:30am to 12pm, in a setting that overlooks Yas Marina Circuit, so the buzz of race weekend is never far away.

This is billed by the organisers as a Formula 1 VIP experience and, importantly, it is deliberately intimate. The event is limited to around 30 women leaders, which means the conversations are more personal than at a large conference. If you prefer to meet people properly over a good breakfast rather than swap business cards in a crowded hall, this is very much your kind of morning.

What to expect

The morning combines curated networking with a premium breakfast and two speakers who share their own stories of building businesses.

• Stefania Lo Gatto is a global network marketing leader who built a business spanning more than 100 countries, and she speaks openly about rebuilding her life after a difficult divorce.
• Daniela Baumann is a TEDx and keynote speaker and the founder of Loft1, a network of female fitness studios. She is also the host behind the event.

According to the event page, the ticket includes curated networking with international women leaders, the premium breakfast, high-level business connections, access to the Women Leaders of the World community and conversations in a VIP-style setting.

Who it is for

The breakfast is aimed at women who are founders, CEOs, investors, executives and entrepreneurs. It is a women-only gathering, and the organisers describe it as a place to meet inspiring women from around the world. If you are visiting Abu Dhabi for the Grand Prix, or you live in the UAE and want to make the most of race weekend for business, it is a natural fit.

We think it suits women who are looking for meaningful connections with peers at a similar stage, rather than a large-scale networking event. Because places are so limited, it is also a good choice if you value quality over quantity.

How to attend

Registration is through the official Luma page. A single ticket costs EUR 390, and every request needs approval from the organisers. The event page notes that requests are subject to availability and that your place is only guaranteed once you receive your official ticket confirmation, so do wait for that email before you plan your morning around it.

At the time of writing, the organisers say that more than 70 percent of tickets have been sold. With only around 30 seats in total, we would not leave it too late.

Good to know

• The event takes place at W Abu Dhabi, Yas Island, during one of the busiest weekends of the year on the island.
• The page does not mention a dress code. As a tip, smart business attire that is comfortable for a morning event is usually a safe choice.
• Tip: Grand Prix weekend brings heavy traffic and road closures around Yas Island, so allow plenty of time to arrive and check access arrangements with the hotel before you set off.
• Tip: bring business cards or have your LinkedIn profile ready to share, as the format is built around conversation.
