Metal Bulletin's 11th Middle East Iron and Steel Conference is the largest and most prestigious Iron and Steel Conference in the region with an unrivalled reputation as a platform for making contacts and doing quality business. With an international delegation of over 550 leading executives currently operating in the Middle East, North Africa and internationally this conference will exceed your expectations. High levels of consumption have fuelled massive investments in this region's steel industry. How much will crude steel production increase and where will these expansions take place? With finished steel output being far higher than that of crude due to a variety of political and environmental factors, when can output be expected to even out and what is the difference between supply and demand likely to be? Trade patterns in the region will change, what will these changes be on a case by case basis? As is typical of most emerging economies long products production continues to dominate but flat product production is increasing in importance. The construction boom is far from over but how will the consumption outlook change in light of oil price fluctuations? Private sector investment is becoming increasingly important. What is the demand likely to be from light manufacture? The steel value chain is changing in the region and value adding strategies are becoming more and more common amongst local distributors what is the outlook in these markets? With increased drill rates and new line pipe projects driving demand for OCTG and line pipe, what is the outlook in this sector and where will the demand be met locally? DRI is still the iron of choice in the Middle East. How much new DRI capacity is coming online? What is the outlook for iron ore imports and production in Iran, Algeria and Mauritania and how will regional scrap markets develop? Join many of the regions leading analysts and producers for answers to these and many other questions.

The Construction SuperConference, now in its 22nd year, is recognized as the preeminent legal construction conference. With the guidance of the Advisory Board and the expertise and feedback from past participants and long-time supporters of the conference, a program has been established that will provide insight into some of the most complex legal and business issues facing the construction industry. This year the conference has been organized into 4 tracks: Legal and Institutional, Business Related Issues, Contracts and Management, and Industry Specific. In addition there are three plenary session presentations, a breakfast session, and, for the first time, “deep dive” workshops. The workshops, offered on Friday afternoon, are an opportunity for attendees to get into very interactive sessions that will spend time on very specific and focused topics, strategies, services, or technologies that affect our industry. For an example, a session on e-discovery may have panelists and experts discussing the benefits, objectives, and case studies with regards to e-discovery. The workshop will then discuss deeper issues with regards to how you can implement e-discovery in your firm. This year you also may notice some new and younger faces. In order to continually grow within the industry and make it strong, we recognize the need to bring younger associates and law students into the conference so they have a better understanding of the industry and the resources available to them. While all sessions will be open to these new attendees, there will be some sessions and workshops specifically tailored to their needs. We hope that the networking events will give them opportunities to meet with some of the wealth of knowledge that this conference attracts – to guide them in their careers. For those of you that have been to the conference before, make sure you register as alumni to receive special pricing and recognition at the conference. Additional Information This conference has been designed as an educational conference with networking and product/service information opportunities for mid and senior level attorneys, consultants, and engineers working within the Construction Industry. This year specific sessions and workshops have been added for associates, junior level engineers, and law students.

Opal Financial Group's Latin American Private Wealth Summit is an event designed to address the challenges family offices and high net worth individuals face in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and other Latin American markets. By covering such issues as risk management techniques, private equity investment, tax planning, asset allocation, hedge fundselection strategies, the impact of technology on portfolio management and more, this event will focus on a range of strategies and solutions designed to maximize returns. Worldwide surges in oil prices are just one of many factors leading to tremendous economic growth in Latin America. In addition, growth in the number of high net worth individuals in Latin American countries (currently over 300,000 high net worth individuals with over $3.8 trillion in assets) presents favorable circumstances for the wealth management industry. Estimates arethat by the end of the decade, these high net worth individuals will hold over $5 trillion in assets. Participants of the Summit will engage in an open exchange of ideas on investment opportunities while maximizing their exposure through networking with the top investors, managers, plan sponsors, endowments and foundations specializing in private wealth management.
