Welcome, in advance, to MELA Summit 2014 Oman The MELA Summit committee put together what we hope to be an excellent opportunity to share and care the Omani way. We are very excited to host this event and we hope you ll join us to enrich it. This year s summit branded Shai 3loum is truly reminiscent with the Omani way of living. It captures networking, socializing and learning all in that one phrase. Usually mentioned at the begging of most Omani conversations, Shai 3loum simply means what s up? albeit in very elaborate way. The 2014 Summit is different in two ways: first, we have invited our friends from SIBF, CELA, and SEALA to join us, and second, we are planning to mix leadership development with show- casing beautiful Oman. The agenda includes top local and international speakers, leadership activities, and exciting trip to Jabal Alakder. Everyone attending needs to fill out this form! Please do so and return by emailing omansummit2014@gmail.com Looking forward to seeing everyone Mark These Dates Experssion of interest 15th of July 20th of August Deadline for registra\on and payment Arrival to Muscat 9th of October 12th of October Departure from Muscat
