Middle East Business Continuity Summit 2013

Governments in the Middle East, Central Banks, Stock Markets and other well-managed organizations recognize that Business disruptions can not only cause financial and reputational loss, but in an extreme situation, can also put companies out of business. It is well-understood that it is the responsibility of any well-managed organisation, both in the government and private sector, to ensure that they have put in place a robust Business Continuity Management System (BCMS).

CORE and BrandSWorth are proud to announce the 2nd Middle East Business Continuity Summit, which will be held in Dubai, UAE from May 27 -30, 2013 at the Hotel Crowne Plaza Deira-Dubai.
