Narrative Summit Announces 10th Edition’s Lineup of Leading Voices
Pioneers from government, business, technology, media, tourism, education, and the arts come together on October 14th at Somabay.
Policy and change are rooted in narratives. The way a nation moves and dreams is, at the end of the day, a story. Narrative Summit has always bet on that story, and on the power of policymakers, entrepreneurs, artists, creators and orchestrators of change coming together to tell stories and shape narratives. For its landmark tenth edition, that bet continues with a speaker lineup featuring leading voices across industries and disciplines, people who pioneer their respective spaces but rarely share one.
“For us, thought leadership is not simply about bringing influential people into one room or having interesting conversations on stage,” says Hania Moussa, Co-Founder of Narrative Summit. “It is about creating a space where diverse perspectives can come together and translate meaningful dialogue into action.”
The 10th edition brings together voices from government, business, technology, media, tourism, manufacturing, education and the arts. Among them are Minister of Industry H.E. Khaled Hashem and Minister of Tourism and Antiquities H.E. Sherif Fathy, alongside former Foreign Minister of Egypt and former Secretary-General of the League of Arab States Amre Moussa, former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs Zahi Hawass, and former Minister of Social Solidarity and former UN Under-Secretary-General Ghada Waly.
The lineup also spans some of the region’s most influential business and creative voices, from Mohamed Mansour, Chairman of Man Capital and Mansour Group, and Ahmed Elsewedy, President and CEO of Elsewedy Electric, to Hatem Dowidar, Ramy Adeeb and Amy Mowafi. Across media, culture and tourism, the summit will bring together figures including Peter Greenberg, Ricardo Karam, Rahma Zein and Gioconda Scott, alongside leaders and entrepreneurs working across AI, hospitality, manufacturing, education and the creative industries.
At the centre of it all is the idea that the people shaping industries are also shaping the stories around them. “We believe in the power of people’s stories,” says Lamia Kamel, Co-Founder of Narrative Summit. “It is people who build civilisations, and it is also people who build narratives.”
For its tenth edition, Narrative Summit is once again bringing those people into the same room, creating a rare intersection between sectors, disciplines and perspectives, and asking what happens when the people writing different parts of the country’s story begin a conversation together.
