The aim of the forum is to improve U.S.-Arab relations. "At SAGIA we continuously seek ways to facilitate business deals and attract investors into Saudi Arabia. This forum is fertile ground for networking and we come here to explore ways to better serve investors and enhance relations between two longstanding partners, Saudi Arabia and the United States of America," commented SAGIA Governor and Chairman Amr Dabbagh.
"It is such high profile events that generate interest in what others are doing on economic, political or other fronts. SAGIA's focus is investments and therefore, we want to educate the U.S. audience on our investment promotion efforts," added Dabbagh.
The list of speakers at this year's USAEF includes HRH Prince Turki Al-Faisal, Saudi Ambassador to the U.S.; H.E. Amre Moussa, Secretary General of the League of Arab States; H.H. Hissah Al Sabbah, Chairwoman, Council of Arab Businesswomen; H.E. Abdulla Al-Attiyah, Minister of Energy and Industry Qatar; Under Secretary Karen Hughes, U.S. State Department; Rex Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil Corporation; John Chambers, Chairman of Cisco Systems; John Hofmeister, President of Shell Oil Company, and over 90 public and private sector leaders.
