Dear Friends,
I am pleased to announce that the
23rd Annual IAOM Mideast & Africa District Conference & Expo will be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, from 5 - 8 December 2012, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre (ADNEC).
Year-round sunshine, pristine beaches, spectacular sand dunes and pulsating cosmopolitan lifestyle await every guest in Abu Dhabi-the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. These, combined with distinctive Arabian hospitality, mystique and world-class infrastructure make Abu Dhabi an enchanting destination for our forthcoming Conference & Expo.
Abu Dhabi, of the seven sheikhdoms that make up the United Arab Emirates, is the largest geographically, occupying more than 80 percent of the UAE’s total area. The emirate’s capital city of the same name is also the federal capital and seat of government. Distinguished by a skyline of ultramodern high-rises, the city of Abu Dhabi sits on a T-shaped island, one of nearly 200 that dot the emirate’s Persian Gulf coastline.
We strive to offer you a diverse conference program, giving everyone the unique opportunity to listen to the industry's most esteemed and influential professionals. The first day of this years’ Conference will offer you various topics related to Management. The Technical/Educational session will take place on the 2nd day, followed by the “What's New” session, which is designed to address milling innovations, trends and challenges. The 3rd day or the last day of the conference will present The Trading session, a great opportunity to discuss the grain and crop situation worldwide.
The Conference & Expo is your link to the latest research and technological developments in the milling industry and helps you to get up face to face with the top professionals in our field. It is a great moment that you should not miss, to extend your business networking mainly within the district but not limited to worldwide reach.
The Expo facilities at ADNEC are remarkable in terms of space, flexibility and layout with a floor area of 3,654 sqm, dedicated only to the Exhibition, making it logistically very convenient for all exhibitors and participants.
All selected Conference hotels are of good standard, located within walking distance from the Convention Centre at ADNEC. Facilities such as ATMs, Money Changer, Cafés and Restaurants are easily found, making it even more comfortable for you to enjoy the event.
