"A fabulous conference

Bruce Embley, Corporate Partner Dubai, FRESHFIELDS BRUCKHAUS DERINGER

Is the MENA region's emerging private equity market of importance to you? Are GCC investors and sovereign wealth funds of primary value to your fund-raising and financing efforts? Do Turkey's growing consumer, energy and infrastructure sectors represent possibly a wealth of opportunity? And can you afford to ignore the massive and transforming markets of Egypt, the Levant and Saudi Arabia?

Following its phenomenal launch event in December 2007, when SuperReturn Middle East attracted more than 550 senior regional and international delegates, the cream of the world's media and rave reviews in just its first year, SuperReturn Middle East 2008 has returned with the most phenomenal line-up of regional and international leaders - ever seen in the region.

In 2008, SuperReturn Middle East has formulated a truly international thought-leadership event, which also fully reflects the dynamism and divergence of the different, yet massively opportune markets of the entire MENA region plus Turkey and South Asia - Egypt and Saudi Arabia in particular.

By far the most prestigious private equity conference in the region - combining the most powerful global thought-leaders with all the leading regional GPs, sovereign wealth funds and investors - SuperReturn Middle East has an agenda bursting with authoritative leaders' insights and superlative networking opportunities.

No other event comes close to such an assembly - combining a supreme of authority and expertise on both the global and Middle Eastern private equity markets. It is a must-atttend event for all those with an eye to the future - investors and GPs alike.
