We are calling upon your skills, knowledge and expertise to contribute to the continued success and vitality of the next Middle East Corporate Governance Congress. Attached is last year’s programme, and, as you will see, you will rank alongside such prominent speakers as Enron CEO and Chairman John Ray III, Dr. Nasser Saidi, Executive Director, Hawkamah and Chief Economist of DIFC and Abdullah H. Al-Abdul-Gader, Commissioner of Capital Market Authority, Saudi Arabia, to name but a few.
In a period compared to the depths of the great depression of the ‘30s, the last twelve weeks have seen the single largest falls in stocks for many manufacturing and banking sectors, the demise of whole countries as well as institutions and, for many nations, the prospect of little recovery in the near future – this is one of the most crucial periods of financial openness and transparency in corporate history.
With this in mind, IIR is proud to present its timely 3rd Corporate Governance Congress, to take place in Dubai from 29 March - 2 April 2009. Over just the last two years, the Congress has already established itself as the most serious event covering Corporate Governance in the Middle East.
