The abovementioned are the leaders we have, after great strategic thought, invited to the ABLF Leadership Weekend 2014, as there exists a synergy between each of them and our other esteemed guests. We have done all of the possible to ensure the presence of these dynamic men and women at the event, however, on account of their hectic schedules, some may send an
emissary to attend on their behalf. In the days that follow, we could receive further confirmations from VVIPs, who, by no means, are less important because they are not featured here.

FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR’S DESK
Along with our excitement on the new, progressive developments in our home city Dubai, the phenomenal success of the ABLF Series 2013 and our brand revamp, which propels our identity forward from Indian Expressions to IEDEA, we look at the fourth edition of the ABLF Series evolving into a more powerful Asian interface.
From our inception in 2007, where we began to narrate the ‘Asia Rising’ story with the legendary India-UAE friendship as our pivot, we have strategically extended our constituencies within Asia, year on year.
Although it is a time to present the ABLF on a wider, more compelling canvas, we do not rest on past laurels. There is still work to be done, which is as exciting as it is important, and as significant as it is necessary. And, at IEDEA, the Team ABLF is preparing to deliver yet another flawless edition of this celebrated series in December 2014.
The ABLF Series has been fortunate to receive the attention and patronage of several world leaders that have expressly put their weight behind its premise; the reason being: due to our impeccable standards of excellence and delivery, the
ABLF Series has gained the trust and commitment of Asian leaders from the realms of industry, business, governance, infrastructure, energy, media and management.
This year, we have elaborated on the celebratory mandate of the ABLF that recognises Asian leadership and will be delivering on the theme of ‘Sustainable Leadership and Development in the 21st Century’ to build Asia's knowledge economy and facilitate effective regional social responsibility programmes.
I look forward to welcoming you to the ABLF Leadership Weekend 2014, its celebrations and global conversations.
