The ABCC was a strategic partner of the 11th Annual Middle East Conference organised by the London Business School at the Landmark Hotel in London. The theme of the 2013 Middle East Conference was “A Forecast for the Middle East: The Re-emergence of a Sustainable Economy”. The event conveyed a great amount of energy and buzz and attracted many prominent people from the Middle East or who were part of the Middle East community overseas. The conference also provided an opportunity for networking and new international friendships were formed over chats in between the formal discussions, and later over lunch.
