New to the Middle East Investment Summit for 2009

This year Middle East Investment Summit and the Risk Middle East have joined forces to bring you the leading Middle East event of 2009. As usual you can expect each congress programme to provide you with the cutting edge content that you are used to, but with the added benefit of receiving an 'access all areas' pass when registering for either event.
