The HR Summit & Expo 2013, taking place on Oct. 7-9 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre will welcome for the first time to the Middle East, Tom Peters, the co-author of the best-selling book, In Search of Excellence, and the world's number one authority in management and leadership. Having authored more than 16 business and leadership books spanning nearly thirty years, Peters single-handedly invented the ‘management guru industry', and will discuss at the HR Summit the ‘people first' concept that formed the basis of highly evolved dynamic organizations today. The tenth edition of the three-day HR Summit & Expo in Dubai will also feature Chester Elton, the co-author of the New York Times bestselling book, All In, who will address more than 2,000 delegates throughout the region about how positive leadership and fostering an organizational culture of belief can triple a company's productivity. In addition to Peters and Elton, heads of HR from across the Middle East and throughout the world will be speaking at the summit, addressing a regional audience about the latest HR developments that have the greatest impact on business strategies today. The HR Summit & Expo's impressive growth and popularity in recent years is reflected in the decision by its organizers, IIR Middle East, to switch venues to the exhibition halls of Dubai World Trade Centre this year, where a dedicated exhibition floor will host more than 50 free-to-attend seminars, and provide a platform for exhibitors to share their latest HR solutions. — SG
