*the most phenomenal line-up of leaders - ever seen in the region from the entire MENA region and across the world

*SuperReturn Middle East 2008 has built on this strength and has formulated an international thought-leadership event which also fully reflects the dynamism and divergence of the different, yet opportune markets of the entire MENA region plus Turkey and South Asia - Egypt and Saudi Arabia in particular.
