The Dynamic Asian Women's Network (DAWN) will be holding its latest creative event on 24 October 2006 with a panel of guest speakers including dance choreographer Honey Kalaria, Sumerah Ahmad, founder of a 'Club Asia' radio and Lopa Patel, founder of online South Asian Lifestyle portal Redhotcurry.com. Now in its third year, the panel discussion and networking event is part of the DAWN Entrepreneurs Programme 2006 and aimed at new and emerging entrepreneurs in the creative sector.

Honey Kalaria is often described as the UK's Bollywood Ambassador. She is a leading dance choreographer as well as a business woman. Honey is the founder of her own Dance Academy with 15 centres across the UK teaching 1,800 students. She has won a plethora of accolades in business, dance and the film & television world.

Sumerah Ahmad, with her sister, founded radio station, Club Asia. With no previous experience in radio broadcasting, the duo secured a highly sought after broadcasting licence from Ofcom to cater for the 500,000 previously under-served young Asians around London. Since its launch in 2003, Club Asia has been the fastest growing commercial radio station in London.

Lopa Patel is the founder and Managing Director of Redhotcurry.com. The community website is a celebration of Asian life in the UK. From its humble beginnings as a small cookery site in 2001, Redhotcurry.com is now a leading lifestyle portal for British Asians boasting more than 40,000 users every month.

Vimmi Singh, co-founder, DAWN, commented, "Our annual DAWN Creative event continues to attract speakers of the highest calibre. This year, we welcome three very successful business women to share their journeys with us; between them they have a wealth of talent, business acumen and a string of awards."

Supported by Creative London, this free event takes place on 24 October 2006 in partnership with The British Library.
