World's first outsourcing industry conference in Dubai

Dubai Outsource Zone announced yesterday that it will host the World Outsourcing Forum, the first global conference focusing on the outsourcing industry, in Dubai from September 27-28, 2005.


The Forum will bring together senior decision makers and professionals with a stake in the outsourcing industry from around the world to discuss a wide range of strategic issues in an industry that is changing the face of the global economy.

"The event will provide a great opportunity for sharing visions, ideas and best practices in the outsourcing industry, which is transforming the way the corporate world runs its business," said Ismail Al Naqi, the Director of Dubai Outsource Zone said. "While the Forum will bring together the global outsourcing fraternity, it will also raise Dubai's profile as an emerging destination for outsourcing," he added. The Forum will feature debates on industry standards and implementation, strategic growth through international partnerships, adaptability, suitability and operational strategies for turnaround, as well as spotlight case studies from leading multinationals.

"Outsourcing has become a key strategy for many multinational businesses to raise cost-effectiveness, access talent and enhance efficiencies, but until now the industry has lacked a focal point to support these user and vendor companies," said James Magee, Director of the World Outsourcing Forum.

"The World Outsourcing Forum has been designed to fill this gap. The event will help the industry exchange insights on the key directions and opportunities in the outsourcing sector," he added. The Forum is being organised by the ITD Group, leading international development organisation, which organises major outsourcing events like Outsource World UK and Outsource World New York, in association with leading regional event management company ITP Events.

The Forum has lined up an impressive array of high-profile speakers representing various perspectives.
