DIFC week will run from 17-24 November 2007. There will be 100 speakers and 12 different events – as far as I can tell that works out at 8.3 speakers per event.
There will be a series of events which come under the grandiose bracket of “Financial Opportunities for the Third Millennium”; lectures on emerging markets, Islamic banking and carbon trading.
Some pretty impressive speakers have been signed up, including Steven Levitt, co-author of the bestselling “Freakonomics”. No doubt the cost to the organisers was astronomical, although I’m sure the Dubai International Financial Centre can afford it (see previous posts). You can view the programme for the week at http://www.difcweek.ae/uploads/pdf/DIFCWeek_Brochure.pdf. It’s not cheap, but if you work for a company with deep pockets then why not persuade/bully them into coming along?!
