Save the Date: IBBC’s Spring Conference, 3 April 2017
Following its successful inaugural conference in Dubai last December, the Iraq Britain Business Council is pleased to announce that its annual Spring Conference at Mansion House will be held on Monday 3 April 2017. Preparations for the event are now underway. While the theme of the conference is still being decided, the event will focus on finance, energy and the reconstruction of Iraq.
Several high-level speakers have already confirmed their participation, including Mr Frank Baker OBE, Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Iraq; Mr Louis Taylor, Chief Executive of UK Export Finance; and Dr Andrew Parmley, The Lord Mayor of the City of London. Ministerial representatives from the UK and Iraq, along with industry experts and business leaders based in London and abroad, will also be invited to speak at the event.
A networking reception for delegates, speakers and special guests will be held at the close of the conference at a venue still to be decided.
As in previous years, IBBC will be organising a regional visit for a delegation of Iraqi business people, during which they will have the opportunity to meet with small- and medium-sized businesses based in the local area. This year’s visit will be to Aberdeen, Scotland, and will take place from Tuesday 4 April to Wednesday 5 April 2017. The Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has kindly offered to co-host the trip.
More information on this year’s Spring Conference programme will be available in due course. If you are interested in finding out more about sponsorship opportunities, please email [email protected]
