The Abu Dhabi Conference 2010 is the essential event for everyone involved with delivering the vision and masterplan for the dynamic emirate. Over 60 expert speakers and 350+ key decision-makers, government officials and leading industry figures will come together on one united platform at this extraordinary event to define the future landscape of Abu Dhabi.
 
Dear colleagues,
 
During the recent period of uncertainty across the globe, the emirate of Abu Dhabi has been able to maintain the pace of its development, pursue its ambitious masterplan and begin to reach its strategic objectives.

Abu Dhabi has a clear vision of its future, a well-designed strategy to achieve it, as well as the human and financial resources to reach its objectives.
 
The very relevant topic of Delivering the Vision will be explored at this year’s Abu Dhabi Conference 2010, where we will be showcasing the actual development achievements as well as highlighting future opportunities that reaffirm the commitment to Vision 2030.
 
Continuous investment towards increased diversification in Abu Dhabi and improved competitiveness are helping to realise projects across all industries. Abu Dhabi mega projects continue to offer greater stability and a broader range of business opportunities.
 
The Department of Economic Development and MEED are honoured to host some of the most prominent organisations of the emirate again at this year’s conference.
 
The Abu Dhabi Conference 2010 is a unique occasion to share strategic plans with the public and the private sectors, and provide useful insights on the plans and projects that are taking place in the emirate today.
 
We look forward to seeing you in November for this truly invaluable event!
 
Kind regards,
