As part of its Executive Learning Programs, the GRC will conduct the “The Gulf In-Depth” series in Dubai in April 2009.

“Gulf In-Depth” deals with many of the misconceptions and stereotypes that exist about the Gulf region and which do little to contribute to a better understanding of the political concerns and cultural norms of Gulf societies. As such, the program is intended promote a better understanding from foremost experts and nationals of the region itself. It is an opportunity to bring together professionals from all over the world to learn about how the Gulf works and operates.

“The Gulf In-Depth” will be held from April 6 to 9, 2009. The United Arab Emirates offers the perfect setting for such an event with its intricate mix of tradition and modernity – an example of a Gulf country that has entered the modern age whilst maintaining its own unique Gulf identity.
