The meeting discussed the forum’s agenda, the progress of the sub- committees, the editorial plan, marketing campaign, hospitality arrangements, memorial stamps and coins, in addition to the progress achieved by the services, logistics and facilities committee. This committee held a number of meetings last month with the Forum’s team and the event management company, both based in New York, as part of the ongoing efforts to host the forum which solidifies Dubai’s role as a global hub for capital, trade, research, renewable energy and sustainability.

The meeting also discussed the ongoing efforts to make hosting the forum a success in order to further establish the prominent position of the UAE and its global energy-focused initiatives.

The WEF aims to host a series of global energy discussions and create a global movement for safer cleaner and more sustainable energy for mankind.
