To be held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance & Industry on 21 and 22 September 2003, the conference features such notables as H.H. Prince Abdullah bin Faisal bin Turki Al Saud, Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA), H.E. Dr. Mohammed Khalfan bin Kharbash, UAE Minister of State for Financial & Industrial Affairs, H.E. Tahmasb Mazaheri, Iran Minister of Finance & Economic Affairs, H.E. Fidel Ramos, former President of the Philippines, and Ms. Nemat Shafik, World Bank Vice President for Infrastructure.

"All eyes are on this region for the best of reasons," says Shuster. "The demographic trends, the national will, the public sector reforms, improved investment regimes and financial services are all coming together to create a vast and very attractive development opportunity that will draw in the world and transform these nations," he added.

New York-based Shuster chairs many high-profile CEO-only and CFO-only events for groups such as the USAID, the US Department of Commerce, and the Royal Court of Jordan.

The Middle East Infrastructure Development Congress will be held immediately prior to the Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund at the Movenpick hotel. It is produced by Dubai and Bahrain-based Middle East Global Advisors (MEGA).

The meeting will assemble a large number of business and governmental leaders from around the world for discussions of $350bn in emerging project opportunities across the Middle East.
