The Dubai event is scheduled to take place on 5 April at the Dusit Thani Hotel, while the Abu Dhabi leg will be on 6 April at the Intercontinental Hotel. At both instances, HEC Paris will hold one-to-one meetings with interested and qualified business executives and explain in detail how its HEC Executive MBA program can immensely contribute to their aspirations of becoming among the top business professionals in the world.

"HEC Paris is strongly committed to developing tomorrow's business leaders from such a vibrant business region such as the UAE, particularly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi," said Professor Laoucine Kerbache, Chief Executive Officer and Academic Dean of HEC Paris in Qatar. "In recent years, the UAE has been at the forefront of the region in various business sectors such as trade, logistics, tourism and hospitality, and aviation. At the same time, its impact on overall global economic activity has likewise been acknowledged. Thus, in order to move further ahead into its ambitious plans for the future, it is imperative for aspiring business executives from the UAE to be equipped with appropriate frameworks and best practices that will enable them  to manage expectations and challenges in such complicated complex environment.

"Certainly, our Executive MBA program will provide them with all the appropriate knowledge and skills that will enable them to bring their respective organizations to greater business success as well as achieve their professional aspirations," he added. "We are therefore looking forward to meeting these candidates at the Access MBA Fair in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and provide them with the necessary counseling on how to unlock their talent and join the top business executives in the region and the world."
