SPEAKER SESSIONS

Destination Dubai

Multiple factors (and most of them positive!) are driving many schools, school groups and Early Childhood providers to explore new territories, new opportunities to share their ‘legacy’ and recent innovations and are searching for partners and investors who share that vision. Given that there are already amazing providers already established in Dubai, and a dizzying range of choices for parents, why are new entrants to the Middle East targeting Dubai and its counterparts as their next destination? In this session, we invite colleagues to ‘eavesdrop’ on a conversation between Pam Mundy, Executive Director of Pam Mundy Associates and Fiona Carter, International Director of Education as they discuss dreams, decisions and destinations in this ‘armchair chat’.
