Rodrigo is building a nice program in Sharjah - with a great small conference later this year as an added bonus for the PhD student.
His chair's patron, Sheikh Saoud, is pretty remarkable and is making sure this program keeps rolling. Handy to Dubai's big airport and while Sharjah is more conservative than Dubai, it's the cultural capital of the UAE.
Last year's conference coincided with International Women's Day and it was stirring to hear great UAE/GCC family biz leaders talk about the need to promote and empower their own daughters/nieces and more,
The link has contact info, etc. but please feel free to ask me if I can help...
