In October this year I had the opportunity to speak at the 3rd annual world islamic retail banking conference in Dubai (U.A.E.). The topic of my presentation was “´Trust – the rediscovered condition in Western retail banking”. The three day conference (compare conference program) was held in the Shangri-La Hotel, Shaik-Zayed-Road.

Here are some impressions from the conference and from Dubai:

For the Android-people I would like offer this recommendation: In the Android market you can find a very good app called Dubai City Guide, which offers maps, photos, recommendations including phone numbers and website. Features include

- 100% offline – including maps
- Augmented reality
