Thank You Message
I would like to thank everyone that took part in the 20th Annual IAOM Mideast & Africa District Conference & Expo in Antalya, Turkey. I hope all of you could benefit a lot from the meeting.
The interest for participating in the 20th Annual IAOM Mideast & Africa District Conference & Expo was greater this year than previous years and the targeted participant number was reached long before the registration deadline. In total there were 621 delegates from 39 countries participating in the conference and expo (including 66 exhibiting companies from 16 countries). In addition to this, the district's positive development is shown in the high increase in IAOM memberships in the past year.
The event was a great success due to the diverse conference program and the close exhibition hall full of enthusiastic exhibitors. The district's centralized conference organization, the entertainment programs during the dinners and their unique locations were also highly appreciated by the participants.
We are completely revising the educational seminar focusing more into management issues relating to the milling industry such as Finance, HR & Safety. All presentations from the IAOM Turkey 2009 are now available for download under ‘Educational Materials’.
As we hope to further develop the Mideast & Africa district events and educational materials, we at IAOM Mideast & Africa District are available for suggestions or questions at info@iaom-mea.com at anytime.
Please also give your comments about the IAOM MEA 2009 Conference and Expo in the evaluation form so we can improve wherever it is required and we maintain the existing standards.
I would be pleased to see you all again in the 21st Annual IAOM Mideast & Africa District Conference & Expo in Cape Town, South Africa on November 22–25, 2010.
Merzad Jamshidi IAOM Mideast & Africa District Director
