IRN is delighted to launch the Oil Trading Risks Middle East & Africa 2015 Summit on 2nd-3rd June at the Meydan Hotel in Dubai, UAE. Following the successful launch of the Oil Trading Risks 2014 Summit last October in Geneva, we are very pleased to bring a similar Summit to Dubai, which will look closely at the downstream challenges faced by oil trading companies specifically in the Middle East and Africa.

While political and operational risks are the most visible ones, the awareness around market risk, counterparty risk and financial risk needs to be enhanced. They all need to be managed in a very efficient way to avoid losses, reputational damage, and unsecure supply chains. Optimum risk mitigation frameworks also allow companies to enter new markets in a more efficient way, and to take every opportunity the region is offering.
The Summit will look into each of these critical areas, giving practical examples of how oil trading companies deal with their:

• Market risk
• Counterparty risk
• Political risk
• Financial risk

In addition, the Summit provides networking opportunities and Private Gala Dinner, allowing senior-level participants to establish new contacts or reconnect with existing ones in the luxury of a 5* Hotel in Dubai.
