The third annual conference on Telecom Financing in the Middle East and Africa

The third annual TelecomFinance Middle East & Africa Conference is taking place from 28th – 29th April 2009 at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Dubai.

The Middle East and Africa, no longer mere emerging markets, are rapidly maturing and driving change in other parts of the world.

We will offer you a firsthand vision of the region through its own eyes, with local leaders providing insight into their strategies for embracing unique opportunities and meeting future challenges.

Featuring a who’s who of regional and global operators, investment bankers, corporate lawyers, consultants and private equity professionals, TelecomFinance Middle East & Africa 2009 remains the region’s original must-attend event.

The conference will deliver insight from industry leaders, present challenging panels addressing the Middle East and Africa’s most significant questions and offer an opportunity to meet colleagues and competitors from across the region and further afield.

Building on our sector-leading magazine’s historic understanding, coverage and analysis of emerging markets, TelecomFinance Middle East & Africa 2009 will address key questions affecting the industry.

Join us in Dubai, the Middle East’s financial capital, where you can meet the trailblazing operators, dealmakers and lenders transforming regional and global telecoms.

We look forward to welcoming you as a sponsor and delegate at TelecomFinance Middle East & Africa 2009.

Kind regards,

Claire Landon
