Developments in the Persian Gulf – Middle East region continue to top the world's political agenda. We are facing high tensions and serious concern about the prospects for peace and stability in the region, on which economic and social progress as well as business and investment activities largely depend.
Predictability of events even for the near future has become poor. Strategic planning and business decision making have become quite challenging.
More than any time, now we need to discuss and debate on these developments and issues of concern at least for two reasons:

Firstly we may get a clear and correct sense of what is happening and therefore can take correct and effective decision in our business and secondly we will try to contribute to the process of finding acceptable and practical solutions.
Ravand Annual Conferences seek to play a role in the consensus building process of the society by inviting major actors, namely officials, entrepreneurs, academics, NGOs & International Organizations as well as the media from Iran and the World to engage in a meaningful debate and discussion of high and hot issues.
