Disruptions being the norm in the evolving business landscape makes keeping up with the trends and technologies with a strong dose of networking a necessity.

A robust and extensive network offers valuable insights into emerging trends. Indeed, the importance of a professional network cannot be overstated. Numerous studies demonstrate that enhancing one’s professional network leads to more job and business opportunities, a broader and deeper knowledge base, increased capacity for innovation, faster career advancement, and greater status and authority. The Dubai Chapter of Institute of Management accounts (IMA), ACCA Middle East and the CFA institute foster these sentiments and are jointly hosting the second edition of the Finance Excellence and Leadership Summit following the success of the inaugural event last year.
