The recent series of uprisings in the Arab world has resulted in dramatic changes in the region and this event will provide you with a lowdown on the very latest developments, the implications on international trade and where the business opportunities will lie for UK companies over the coming months and years.

This year’s keynote speaker will be Fawaz Gerges, Professor of Middle Eastern Politics and International Relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Professor Gerges has given scores of interviews for various media outlets throughout the world and most recently has provided commentary on the uprisings for both the BBC and CNN. He will discuss the revolutionary storm that has shaken the Middle East, comment on how UK companies can maintain business and engage with the situation and share his views on what the future may hold.
