Elevate: Middle East and North Africa (MENA)

Formerly known as the Middle East and North Africa Conference

What began as a regional forum for connection and exchange has transformed into a must-attend experience for the business education leaders in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). As the region’s priorities and opportunities have evolved, so too has the Elevate brand, designed to meet today’s challenges and inspire tomorrow’s impact.

Join us to explore the dynamic and rapidly changing landscape of business education in MENA. Together, we will dive into insightful sessions while collaborating with forward-thinking educators and leaders in the region.
