About

In 2020, Lebanon’s Nour Ardakani made history as the first Arab member of the global pop group Now United, selected by Simon Fuller from over 10,000 candidates. She quickly became an international sensation, performing for over 40,000 fans at the Allianz Parque Stadium in Brazil and opening for S Club at iconic venues like London’s O2 Arena during their 2023 reunion tour. Her rapid rise has been recognized with prestigious honors, including the Arab Woman Award for Young Talent and the Murex d’Or, alongside major global campaigns for brands like Pepsi and Rexona.

Now based in Los Angeles, Nour is embarking on a new chapter as a solo artist and actor following her success in the musical The Night of Our Lives. Having graced the cover of Cosmopolitan Middle East and represented the MENA region on the world’s biggest stages, she is now focused on developing her own unique artistry. This transition marks a shift toward more personal, authentic music and a deeper exploration of her passion for acting, as she builds on her global foundation to connect more intimately with her audience.

ANNOUNCEMENT

In light of the current regional circumstances, we have decided to postpone the first edition of the Beirut Business Forum.

This Forum was created as a platform for leadership, dialogue, and collaboration across the region and beyond. In moments like these, leadership also means acting with responsibility and care for the wider community that surrounds us.

The safety and security of our speakers, partners, and guests remain our highest priority. While this decision was not taken lightly, we believe it is the responsible step given the current environment. Our commitment to the Forum and to the community that has gathered around it remains unchanged, and we look forward to bringing everyone together as soon as conditions allow.

We will continue to monitor developments closely and will communicate the new dates for the Beirut Business Forum as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we extend our sincere thanks to our speakers, partners, and attendees for their unwavering support and trust. We remain committed to delivering the Forum and to welcoming our community in Beirut very soon.
