A major networking event for the financial community will be held in Qatar on November 5.

The event, hosted by Amwal, Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) Authority and Qatari Businessmen Association (QBA), follows two very successful events held earlier, in November 2006 and February 2007.

The event, to be held at the Four Seasons hotel in Doha, is for invited guests and experts from the local, regional and international financial communities.

The event coincides with the Gala dinner of The Economist Financial Leaders Forum, whose conference takes place the following day.  Participants in the Forum have been invited to the networking event.

Geared towards the professionals of the financial sector and those in senior financial positions in the wider business community, the Networking Event for Financial Professionals will be addressed by founder and chairperson of Amwal Shaikha Hanadi Nasser bin Khaled Al Thani and attended by a senior editor from the Economist magazine.

Amwal, QFC Authority and QBA each invite clients and other professional contacts to participate, offering an opportunity for financial professionals to share the information, knowledge, relationships and expertise that will help build and sustain a solid financial services industry in Qatar and in the wider region.

'The Networking event for Financial Professionals has fulfilled the aim of establishing a common platform for financial experts to share and discuss industry trends, future strategies and financial infrastructure,' said Shaikha Hanadi.

The networking event has proved to be perhaps the most well attended of its kind held in Qatar both in scale and in terms of the cross section of businesses that are represented. The feedback from the business sector has been very positive,' said chairman of the Qatari Businessmen Association Shaikh Faisal Bin Qasim Al Thani.

The Networking Event for Financial Professionals planned to take place three times a year, is by invitation only, and will be customised to meet and fit the needs of the professionals that are expected to participate. - TradeArabia News Service
