Posted: 6 September 2003
High-ranking regional and international figures to attend
pre-Dubai 2003 infrastructure conference
The Middle East Infrastructure Development Congress (MEIDC), the
only private conference being held in official association with
the Dubai 2003 Organising Committee, has named Scott Shuster, long-time
ABC News correspondent and chairman of events for BusinessWeek magazine,
to lead its plenary discussions for Ministers and CEOs-only.
To be held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid
Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance &
Industry on 21 and 22 September 2003, the conference features such
notables as H.H. Prince Abdullah bin Faisal bin Turki Al Saud, Chairman
of the Board and CEO of the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority
(SAGIA), H.E. Dr. Mohammed Khalfan bin Kharbash, UAE Minister of
State for Financial & Industrial Affairs, H.E. Tahmasb Mazaheri,
Iran Minister of Finance & Economic Affairs, H.E. Fidel Ramos,
former President of the Philippines, and Ms. Nemat Shafik, World
Bank Vice President for Infrastructure.
"All eyes are on this region for the best of reasons,"
says Shuster. "The
demographic trends, the national will, the public sector reforms,
improved investment regimes and financial services are all coming
together to create a vast and very attractive development opportunity
that will draw in the world and transform these nations," he
added.
New York-based Shuster chairs many high-profile CEO-only and CFO-only
events for groups such as the USAID, the US Department of Commerce,
and the Royal Court of Jordan.
The Middle East Infrastructure Development Congress will be held
immediately prior to the Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors
of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund at the
Movenpick hotel.
It is produced by Dubai and Bahrain-based Middle East Global Advisors
(MEGA).
The meeting will assemble a large number of business and governmental
leaders from around the world for discussions of $350bn in emerging
project opportunities across the Middle East.
