He also moderated a riveting discussion with Egyptian businessman Naguib Sawiris, who provided valuable insights into his successful career and underscored how social media strategically fuels his endeavors.

The anticipation surrounding the event was palpable, with organizers announcing that all tickets had sold out in advance—a clear indication of the summit’s appeal.
