“Horasis will convene the 2012 Global Arab Business Meeting in Ras Al Khaimah, U.A.E., 9-10 December, 2012, to facilitate engagement and dialogue among business leaders and governments from the Arab world and beyond. As in 2010 and 2011, the Government of Ras Al Khaimah will act as meeting co-host. The Global Arab Business Meeting is the foremost annual gathering of Arab business leaders and their global counterparts.

The third edition of the Global Arab Business Meeting will be convened at a critical time for the region. The important changes taking place in the Middle East have brought to light a number of socio-economic challenges – such as employment, education and entrepreneurship that must be addressed if the aspirations of the Arab spring are to be met.”

The U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council’s president Danny Sebright will attend the conference and participate as a panelist during one of the plenary sessions. More information to follow.
