The Bloomberg Markets Most Influential Summit will make its Middle Eastern debut in Abu Dhabi this week, convening global financial leaders and investors who are moving markets, driving economies and making deals that will shape the future financial landscape.
“Abu Dhabi joins London, Hong Kong and New York as the latest global financial center to host this event. It’s a reflection of our commitment to the region and furthers the expansion of our media operation in the UAE and the Middle East announced earlier this year. We’re pleased to have been able to work closely with Abu Dhabi Global Market to bring you this event, which highlights Bloomberg’s commitment to comprehensive, forward-looking global coverage of the financial industry,” said Justin B. Smith, CEO, Bloomberg Media.
Taking place at the Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island on Wednesday (Dec. 7), the invitation-only Summit, sponsored by Mubadala, will gather global influencers for a day of conversation, networking and cross-border thought leadership on issues such as the far-reaching implications of Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, the rise of powerful sovereign wealth funds, the urgent work to diversify carbon economies, and investment opportunities throughout the region and across the world.
“The Bloomberg Markets Most Influential Summit features the top market leaders and business executives driving the global financial system today and spotlights the investment opportunities and risks on the horizon and beyond. I’m confident the conversations, informed by Bloomberg’s unparalleled data and analyses, will provide keen insights to help attendees navigate the investment landscape in 2017,” said Reto Gregori, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Bloomberg, who will open the Summit Wednesday morning.
