Going into its fifth year, and with the continuing collaboration from the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Department of Commerce (who anchored the DOC 2016 Riyadh trade mission to our Riyadh Forum this past April) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the September C3 Summits have been scheduled, based on a request by the United Nations, to coincide with their 71st General Assembly (the 2016 UN General Assembly is September 13-26, 2016). The rationale by the UN to support the September 26th C3-US Arab Business Summit is to attract attending dignitaries from their General Assembly to take part in the two-day C3 US-Arab Summit, many of whom will most likely be interested in attending due to the level of speakers participating.

The theme of the 2015 C3 US-Arab Business Summit is based on security solutions, job creation and healthcaretransformation. A prominent group of 500 international business leaders and government officials, from 16 countries, will headline a two-day agenda, sharing their perspectives on issues that shape business planning, risk assessment, decision-making, and the conduct of commerce and finance between our two regions.

Held in New York City and Riyadh each year, the C3 Summits are the fastest growing and most important interdisciplinary global conferences for senior business and healthcare professionals in the US-Arab world.  C3 focuses on the most important aspects of relations between the US and Arab World: Community, Collaboration, and Commerce, as it seeks to bridge divides through a better understanding between the regions.
