ABOUT ZAFIGOX
The first event in Asia dedicated to Women Empowerment and Travel, where women come together to discover, to learn, to meet and to be inspired.
In conjunction with the George Town Festival 2017, one of the most exciting festivals in Southeast Asia, comes a one-of-a-kind event for women seeking to go beyond borders and boundaries.
Attendees from all over the world will converge over three days for inspiring talks and panel discussions by international and Malaysian speakers, workshops on life and travel skills, an open-to-public bazaar showcasing women artisans and services geared towards the woman traveller and to meet with other women who share similar passions.
