The Middle East Investor Relations Association (MEIRA) will host 2025 MEIRA Annual Conference on 24th and 25 September at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre (OCEC), gathering top investor relations professionals to Muscat.
With the theme ‘Elevating Impact: The New Era of IR in the Middle East’, the 2025 edition is set to be MEIRA’s largest and most influential conference to date, convening over 700 delegates, including 150+ institutional investors and 130+ issuers from across the region and beyond.
Organized in partnership with the Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX), the event is supported prominently by OQ Group as Oman’s Energy Champion, OQ Exploration and Production (OQEP) as the MEGA Sponsor, and Omantel and Ominvest as Strategic Sponsors.
“The MEIRA Annual Conference has become a cornerstone event for the regional IR community. This year’s edition, held in Oman for the very first time, reflects both the maturing capital market landscape in the Sultanate and the growing relevance of IR across the Middle East. We are proud to work alongside MSX, OQ Group, OQEP, Ominvest, Omantel and our other key sponsors to bring this global-standard platform to life.”
Held over two days, the conference will feature keynote speeches, 10 thematic panel discussions, and 20+ expert-led workshops on investor relations best practices, evolving capital market dynamics, ESG integration, and more. In a major pre-conference initiative, OQ Group will host the inaugural OQ Market Day on 23 September 2025, bringing together all of its listed subsidiaries for direct engagement with investors and market stakeholders.
Azzan Al Abdullatif, Chief Portfolio Officer at OQ, emphasized the significance of this platform, and said that, “OQ Group is honored to sponsor and support this landmark event. In just the past two years, we successfully launched four IPOs on the Muscat Stock Exchange, an achievement that highlights the strength, depth, and investor confidence in Oman’s capital market. The MEIRA Annual Conference offers an ideal platform to reflect on these milestones and share our future plans with the broader investment community.”
Jaber Al Noumani, CFO of OQ Exploration and Production, highlighted OQEP’s involvement and stated that, “OQEP is proud to be the MEGA Sponsor for the 2025 MEIRA Annual Conference, reflecting our commitment to excellence in investor relations and transparent stakeholder engagement. As Oman’s leading exploration and production company, we value open dialogue and meaningful engagement with the investment community. This platform provides an excellent opportunity to connect with regional and international investors while showcasing our alignment with Oman’s Vision 2040 and our commitment to sustainable energy development.”
One of the key features of the MEIRA Annual Conference will be the Corporate Access program, delivered in collaboration with Arqaam Capital and HSBC. This initiative will enable up to 60 MEIRA member companies to participate in one-on-one and group investor meetings, fostering in-depth engagement and real-time feedback from regional and international stakeholders.
Complementing the sessions is an exclusive exhibition space, providing sponsors and attendees with high-visibility branding opportunities. The exhibition area will serve as a central hub for networking, product showcasing, and relationship-building throughout the event.
The MEIRA Annual Conference remains the premier IR event in the Middle East, offering unmatched opportunities for professional development, industry alignment, and thought leadership across the capital markets landscape.
