“We’re back and we’re bigger than ever,” Founding Partner of CIS Mai Salama said. “This year it’s a full takeover of the Nile Ritz for four days and we’re ready to welcome everyone from students to CEOs, each with their own content and experiences. Nowadays it’s essential for everyone to be creative in whatever they do. Without this, you will never stand out or advance your business. CIS was created to foster, to inspire, to educate, to train, to celebrate, to shed light on creative endeavours within the field of business.”
