Rudinov Vincent, Senior Conference Producer at Fleming Gulf and responsible for this event quotes, "Human Resource issues are of growing importance in the Middle East as economies growing on petro-dollars restructure & localize their traditionally heavy expatriate workforce. The oil, gas & petrochemicals sector is no exception to this. Within the next 5 to 10 years, Oil, Gas &

Petrochemical companies will face a severe shortage of qualified staff. The average age of staff in this Industry is nearing retirement. The challenge here is not just to identify the right talent, but to identify & nurture local talent hence this year event will take HR to the boardroom, from just being a traditional function to now being a strategic function in the company's bottom line.
