Six of the world’s best in-class thinkers and inspirational speakers will address international human resources conference next month in Dubai, UAE.

Former Olympic swimmer and world champion Mark Foster will be joined by Danish football coach and best-selling author Rasmus Ankersen and silver medal winning British Paralympic triathlon champion Karen Darke at the HR Summit and Expo 2014, running from October 20 to 22 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Completing the line-up of motivational gurus are three of the most respected international HR and leadership experts: Marshal Goldsmith, a top leadership thinker; Dave Ulrich, an influential personality in the HR industry globally; and Liz Wiseman, author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller ‘Multipliers: how the best leaders make everyone smarter’.

“The HR Summit is a marvellous opportunity to share insights and engage in conversation about new ideas,” said Dave Ulrich, professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan in the US.  “I enjoy learning from thoughtful colleagues in the Gulf region who are committed to helping their organisations succeed through talent, leadership, and culture.”

"The HR Summit and Expo has expanded rapidly over the last decade, and the exhibition has become firmly established as  the Middle East's 'must attend' event for HR professionals in the GCC and beyond," said Ramy Bayyour, show director of the HR Summit and Expo. – TradeArabia News Service
