The objective of the Gather Festival is to unite individuals driven by a desire for personal development, with a focus on sustainability and inclusion. Particular emphasis was placed on female empowerment, a subject of significant global relevance, explored through a series of talks examining how education and community support can help women build confidence in managing their finances.
Among the distinguished guests was an Italian-Brazilian footballer, currently a midfielder for Arsenal and the Italian national team, who participated as a partner of Gather Investing. During his speech, he introduced new celebrity investors, including Kalidou Koulibaly, an African champion and close friend, who attended the event representing the Islamic community.
Moreover, given the captivating location, a guided tour of the largest archaeological site in Europe was an essential part of the program.
