“Networking for Kurdistan is unrivaled. It is the most effective way
“Right now is challenging time for the industry and it’s great there’s events like this where we can get together and discuss with the government, other companies and industry participants what those challenges are and how we’re facing up to them to resolve them. It’s been very productive and really enjoyed this conference.”
