Lease Conference Dubai 2021 in less than 75 days…
The Alta Group (LAR) and Invigors EMEA Ltd are pleased to invite you to have the first Lease Conference
Dubai 2021, Developments for the Middle East and Africa. Due to COVID-19 pandemic we have been
forced to postpone the Lease Conference that was scheduled for November 2020 and subsequently in
March 2021. However, due to the increased number of cases of the CORONA-19 pandemic we made the
decision to postpone for a second time!
The Lease Conference 2021 will now take place in Dubai (UAE) in less than 75 days on October 13 and 14,
2021. It will be a hybrid conference, which means that it will an in person conference as well as a virtual
conference!

The Lease Conference seeks to bring actionable knowledge and expertise to the players in the Leasing
business in the Middle East and Africa and set the ground for a strong integration and networking
amongst Lessors, Suppliers, Investors and Bankers, Service Providers and Regulatory Authorities across
the region.
This conference will give you the opportunity to attend in person or to participate virtual!
Benefits for the in-person participation are B2B networking with all delegates, before, during and after the
Lease Conference, access to all sessions during the 2 days and also networking opportunities during the
breaks (including food and beverage).
The Lease Conference Dubai 2021 is the perfect event to meet your colleagues from the Middle Eastern
Region and Africa. You will meet senior representatives from leading key industry solution providers.

Since our previous Newsletter we have been working to get additional speakers, sponsors and media
partners for the conference and we are very pleased to inform you, that we have succeeded and continue
to keep working on this.

COVID-19
In this Newsletter we also find it useful and necessary to address the current COVID-19 situation in the
UAE in general and Dubai in particular. At this moment it is possible to organize an in-person conference,
of course taking into account all regulations that are put in place, like face masks, capacity and social
distancing regulations. If you are an expatriate resident of the UAE or a tourist to the UAE, you must
present a negative result of a PCR test at the departure airport. This test should have been conducted
within 96 hours before travelling to Dubai. Some residents might be tested again on arrival at Dubai’s
airport. If you are required to take another PCR test on arrival, you must remain in quarantine at your
residence until you receive the test result. If the test result is positive, you must stay in isolation and follow
the instructions of Dubai Health Authority. If the test result is negative, you do not need to quarantine
yourself. If you are a citizen of the UAE you are exempt from the PCR test prior to departure, regardless of
the city or country you are coming from. However, you will be tested on arrival in Dubai. As these

reservations!
