- 2008 Saudi Water & Power Forum
-
Nov 1, 2008 - Nov 4, 2008,
Jeddah Hilton, Jeddah, Mecca, Saudi ArabiaSaudi Arabia's water and power industry represents a challenge on a scale unknown anywhere else in the world and the Saudi Arabian government has undertaken an ambitious programme of reforms in this sector.
Building on last year's success, SWPF 2008 is dedicated to companies and investors aiming to capitalise on additional 30 GW of power generating capacity targeted by the Saudi Arabia's Water and Electricity Ministry for 2020. This figure will double the current installed capacity of 29.1 GW at a cost of an estimated US $ 90-100 Billion. In addition, Saudi Arabia's state-owned Saline Water Conversion Corp. (SWCC) has estimated that through 2020, the country will need to spend US $ 50 Billion on water projects, many integrated with new power generation capacity, in order to meet the Kingdom's equally rapidly growing water demand. - full details
- ESF-UB Conference in Biomedicine (Biobanks)
-
Nov 1, 2008 - Nov 6, 2008,
Hotel Eden Roc Sant Feliu de Guixols SpainThe advance of biotechnology and bioinformatics at the amount of genetic information available through both the Human Genome and HapMap projects together with the availability of biobank-associated genetic databases have fostered and highly facilitated genetic/genomic research, at the same time they have generated the need for a rational, ethical and legal management of such resources to ensure appropriate use of the available sample and data collection resources, guarantying a balanced promotion of research for the benefit of the community and protection of the rights of the donors (i.e. autonomy of decision and confidentiality). In creating these new structures and networks, different countries have developed different regulations/ recommendations regarding biomedical research, ethical procedures, intellectual property and data protection. The need of sample and data sharing through the establishment of cooperative trans-national projects, highlights the interest of biobanking harmonization promoted through international consortiums with the aim of establishing common frameworks what would allow researchers to access to a higher numbers of representative -good quality- samples.
The ESF-UB Conference on Biobanking will be focused on providing an open forum of discussion on all aspects involved on governance, management and use of human biobanks, technical solutions, ethical, legal, and social aspects, providing participants also with a broad overview of the existing models of biobanks and the international initiatives on population-based and disease-oriented biobanks. - full details

- 47th ICCA Congress & Exhibition - International Congress & Convention Association
-
Nov 1, 2008 - Nov 5, 2008,
Victoria Conference Center Victoria, British Columbia CanadaThe ICCA Congress & Exhibition brings together a global representation of suppliers in the meetings industry and provides a platform enabling ICCA members to generate and maintain significant competitive advantage by providing business opportunities, promotion, education and networking.
Business
The ICCA Congress is not just about high level education and exceptional networking. There are also opportunities for delegates to exchange detailed information about key international events they have recently hosted or helped to organise. More and more delegates are signing up for this “Business Exchange” option at the Congress, which allows them to return to their offices with literally dozens of potential business leads, or new and invaluable information about specific events which they are already in the process of trying to win for their company or destination. We will be using the new generation of the Spotme handheld electronic networking tool to assist delegates to identify and meet up with colleagues who hold information on events they are interested in. This process runs throughout the whole length of the event. Read more...
Education
This year’s education programme promises to be the strongest ICCA has ever put together. The speakers will be a mix of experienced ICCA members, clients from both corporate and association meetings segments, and experts from outside the meetings industry whose advice on sales, marketing and leadership issues will give delegates unique, new perspectives on their personal business challenges. Sector-specific topics will run alongside general meetings industry topics, and will include a mixture of presentations, workshops, and discussion forums. Read more...
Networking
Ask any delegate to an ICCA Congress about what makes it unique, and the most common answer is sure to be that we deliver high level delegates (two thirds are CEO’s, company owners, or senior level directors) and a truly global audience (in 2007 we had delegates from over 60 countries).
Promotion
Some ICCA members sell their services to other ICCA members, others want to raise their profile with their peer group. The exhibition provides the opportunity to promote your services, products or destination. - full details
