The Definitive Middle East Securities Conference

What a great week we had in Doha at this year's inaugral Middle East Securities Forum with over 150 players in the International and Regional Securities market. They were all here - were you?

We brought you the Emerging Markets Securities Forum brand to Qatar and saw many new faces and as well as those familiar to the Forum. We look forward to seeing many of you again in 2011.
