SPECIAL EO OFFER:
Data Protection: Are you Compliant?
Did you know that under the Data Protection Act, most businesses are required to register as Data Controllers / Processors with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner? If your company handles any personal data and hasn’t yet registered, you are at risk of non-compliance.
EO can organise a free sensitisation presentation where Amaan Kassam & Co. Advocates will walk you through the key provisions of the Act and how to ensure that your business is fully compliant.
The format could be a Forum Session, a 1:1, or a Chapter Wide presentation (to be confirmed).

Pierre helps leaders unlock those hidden strengths. As founder of Be Brave, he brings over two decades of experience developing people, building businesses, and designing winning strategies for scaleups and global brands. A four-time TEDx speaker, award-winning

Venue: The Residence Hotel Tunis, Tunisia

MEPA Unleashed is back this October and this time, we’re taking you somewhere completely different.
After powerful gatherings in Cairo and a spectacular summit in Bahrain, the joaurney now continues in Tunisia, a land of contrast and possibility. Think the Mediterranean meets desert. Ancient culture meets youthful energy. Expect the unexpected. This is new territory for EO, and we’re leaning all the way in. Why Tunisia? Because it’s lush, it’s vibrant, and it’s unlike anywhere we’ve been before. One moment you’re walking Roman ruins, the next you’re diving into coastal blue. Tunisia is not just a backdrop, it’s part of the experience. So come ready to create your own adventure.
What to Expect
Unleashed is not just an event, it’s a signal. A challenge. A chance to break patterns, go deeper, and lead with more clarity, conviction, and courage.
You’ll experience:
• Powerful keynotes and unfiltered conversations
• Curated workshops to level up how you lead, live, and grow
• The boldest minds in the MEPA region all in one place
• Unforgettable moments. Real connection. A serious recharge.
And of course, MYEO experiences, always a highlight, and this year, we’re bringing our A-game. The best of the best is coming your way!
Early bird pricing won’t last. Speakers are dropping soon. Tunisia is calling. Register now to inspire, connect, and grow.
