Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, each year, the Global Education and Skills Forum (GESF) brings together world leaders from the public, private and social sectors seeking solutions to achieving education, equity and employment for all. Over two days 2,000 delegates share, debate and shape new ways for education to transform our world. George & Burnell has handled end-to-end event management for the forum since the event’s inception in 2015.
