Will this be live-tweeted? What’s the hashtag regarding #MENA investment? Will there be a separate discussion of growth outside of the #GCC region?
We will be live-tweeting the event at #itiMENA. I can’t predict all the topics covered, but there will be plenty of time for Q&A, both from the audience and from the twitterverse.
Oops! Make that #ifiMENA
