New York Event: Where are the Global Brands from the Muslim World?

Our first ever Strategy Forum - NY event was hosted at the New York University on Febuary 7th, 7pm-9pm.  The topic of 'Where are the Global Brands from the Muslim World?' was a discussion around the 2005 DS100 ranking of Top 100 Companies in the Muslim world.  A big thanks to the distinguished panel and for all those who came and made the first event a success.  We will definitely be planing for a bigger space next time as the room was packed with 80 attendees with many who could not be accomodated. 

You can respond to this post with your comments about the event or the discussion. Meanwhile enjoy the pictures from the first event.
