Here are the summarizing reflections from most of the She-entrepreneurs after three days in Dubai.
Samantha - Started off one to one, now I’m one to thirty.
Caroline - I have personal connections to everyone and understand the context where everyone comes from.
Camilla - A relaxing experience where we know eachother.
Raya - I extended my network. Action point is to start using the social media tools as much as I can.
Hoda – I have become optimistic, I had lost all my hopes.
Abeer - Friendship.
Malin – Constant learning and friendship. Next step is to go to Damaskus.
Eliza – new interest for the middle east, and next step will be to learn more.
Sofia – will take care of this network.
Antonia – greatful for your stories.
Karin – we are a good family – you challenge your familly, you cry together, you fight and laugh. I’ve decided to do something else in life when I come home.
Pernilla – want to use what I can do and am good at to help you do what you are good at - revolutions.
Noha – I will miss you all. The network is very important so I think you will all be a big puzzle that will help you all.
Norhan – I think this network is really working for change. I have been asking questions and got help. I have learned something about each one of our mentors here. Now I have energy and I will lead my own project and runt my own baby.
Ida – glad we are so united. I have heard such great stories and is happy to bring them home.
Sara – sisterhood. The beauty of contrast.
Solidad – beauty of trust, honesty and acceptance.

What is the most disruptive - full time conntected or fully disconnected?
Keynote speaker Amber Case (@casorganic) turned out to be the most charming personality ever. She is that sort of person replying every question with a smile and a ‘thank you’ before answering. Telling her story she laughs over and over again, enjoying the world and the people in it.
Amber showed us the story of Steve Mann, an amazing half maniac creative genius from the 80s still active today. We laugh at him because he was so out of the box but he was really ahead of everything – so far in front of us we couldn’t realize it, crazy enough to try out things before they were possible. This made me think of who is that Steve Mann character of today. Who is considered full feathered crazy but will be recognized as genius in 20 years?
Maybe we soon after met that person in Dave Asprey. Dave himself challenged Amber already at her speech asking her if she was only passively talking or if she was actually doing any cyborg practicing herself, which she replied that she did. She, just as Dave himself, measure everything she does. Statistics about you and your body seems to be interesting to the scientists and you can’t avoide the sense of elitism as often with cyborgs. There is always a fine line between health and support and superhumanpowers.
I interpreted Dave’s story about going from a super clever 150 kg computer addicted guy in his 20s to an (almost) normal functional family man with the help of happiness data as a story of healing – a remedy. He has found a way to control his mind and not let it do unhealthy choices, but on the contrary, only do what makes him feel good. You get a little scared by this man and yet I’m wondering if he’s not the Steve Mann of our times. Will we in 20 years look at him and see that he was right even though his practice will seem disruptive even in the future?
Susan Maushart discovered just as Dave that the fulltime connected life can have bad impact on the health of a family, and so she disconnected the entire family for a year – including 3 teenage kids. I wanted to ask her what she believed that the kids will say about it when they are 40... My mom experimented with our lives...or My mom did a real good move back then... To be completely disconnected today means that you put your kids outside both communication with school and moreover with their friends. Again this might have been the only remedy for this family, but I feel that I will not try it at home.
