FORBES GLOBAL CEO CONFERENCE
October 21 – 23, 2012
Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Now in its 12th year, the prestigious Forbes Global CEO Conference will 
be held in Dubai from October 21 – 23, 2012. This annual event is 
attended by some 400 global CEOs, tycoons, entrepreneurs, 
up–and–comers, capitalists and thought leaders.

The Race Ahead 

Back on the brink of a global recession, the race is on for leaders of 
the world economy to escape the danger zone and set a new course for 
prosperity. The stakes are high: the world, with a 7–billion strong 
population, faces a declining outlook for growth. Mounting obstacles 
fill the track with risks such as persistent debt concerns, turmoil in 
financial markets, rising unemployment and the competition for resources. 
The race is a spectacle of fear and anxiety, where ambition runs deep 
for victory. How will the best competitors take the reins and lead the 
pack with both speed and endurance? How should leaders of global economic 
governance summon their political will to put into motion the right reforms 
that bolster confidence among investors, businesses and consumers? 
How should leaders who are facing voters run for power? How should global 
CEOs and entrepreneurs strategize to be the first in promising markets 
and dominate? Beyond the finish line, the champions will mark their 
success in the winners circle. There is no better place than Dubai, 
a global city ascending in the new world order, to engage the top 
minds in business and leadership on how to win the race ahead.

Past Conferences

Forbes Global CEO Conference
September 12 - 14, 2011
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Now in its 11th year, the prestigious Forbes Global CEO Conference will 
be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from September 12 to 14, 2011. This 
annual event is attended by some 400 global CEOs, tycoons, entrepreneurs, 
up–and–comers, capitalists and thought leaders.

At the Crossroads 

Leaders at the helm of governments and corporations are at a crossroads, 
confronting transformative decisions that shape the destiny of the world 
community. The global economy has endured the Great Recession but its 
recovery hangs in the balance. Policy makers must take steps to not only 
strengthen national economies but also adopt a multilateral approach on 
macroeconomic, trade and currency reforms. 

Companies undergoing fundamental change must adapt growth models. 
What choices are at hand for leaders who face divergent thinking on issues 
that drive global prosperity? Which routes should they take to stimulate growth, 
reduce debt, correct trade imbalances and manage exchange rates? Which 
paths would best attract investment, encourage consumption, curb excesses 
and keep prices stable? Which alternatives create jobs, raise productivity, 
increase profits and foster innovation? Which options protect the environment, 
sustain energy and resources and help the disadvantaged? Crossroads 
challenge our mastery at taking action at the decisive hour. To make the right 
call demands clarity, courage, instincts, analysis and the willingness to take 
a leap of faith. 

Crossroads are also a global center of networks for diverse civilizations to 
exchange ideas and grow commerce. There is no better place than Malaysia, 
a crossroads of global trade between the East and West, to bring together 
global CEOs to examine how the world economy can embark on a new 
journey of discovery in a post–crisis world.
