" The hosts pictured above with Queen Rania Al Abdullah at last year&amp;#039;s inaugural WIE Symposium.  The second annual WIE Symposium (Women: Inspiraton &amp;amp;amp; Enterprise), a conference hosted by legendary journalist Arianna Huffington, designer Donna Karan and former British First Lady Sarah Brown, will be held this September. To kick off the 4-day affair of panels, lectures and all things women power, Nicole Kidman, Rita Wilson, Jane Fonda, Christy Turlington Burns, BAZAAR&amp;#039;s Laura Brown, Serena Williams, Rose Byrne, plus Huffington and Karan will be hosting an intimate dinner appropriately dubbed &amp;#039;Ladies Night&amp;#039; at Le Caprice the Friday before the festivities begin. The full schedule of keynote speakers, who will be focusing on &amp;quot;What it means to be a woman now,&amp;quot; has yet to be announced, but tickets go on sale today. &amp;quot;What makes WIE unique is that this event considers the modern woman,&amp;quot; says Karan. &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t make assumptions that to be a female means being one thing or the other: married to a man, a professional, a parent. A woman can be strong and powerful and still be interested in beauty and fashion; she can be feminine, a caretaker, and still be as captivated by the world around her and motivated to inspire change or aggressive in business. WIE is for that woman, who, in this modern age, is all of us.&amp;quot; WIE Symposium, September 18-19, tickets on sale at wiesymposium.org, all proceeds will benefit the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood.
