By harnessing the powers of the Web to bring about gargantuan economic, social and political changes for the nearly 400 million inhabitants in the Arab region, of which 65% are under the age of 25, Mr. Fakharany will address how the Internet has had nothing short of a Tsunami effect on the most basic way of life in the Arab world, as evident by the still-ongoing Arab Spring.

Ambassador Corbin and Mr. Fakharany headline an outstanding group of speakers with the requisite business expertise to help U.S. and Arab commercial interests reap the mutual benefits of each region's economic and trade opportunities. Many of the most prestigious business leaders, policy-makers, educators, and civil society members, from across the globe, will discuss the tenets of community, collaboration, and commerce during this important moment between these two pivotal regions.

In fact, C3 Summit is considered so timely and mission critical, it is the first-ever, non-government event to be placed on the home page of the Government's website http://www.export.gov
