“GITEX Shopper has always been an event that has moved with the times. With the rapid ongoing expansion that Dubai is enjoying, the standard of living being offered to its residents has significantly improved. Lifestyle electronics is a sign of the times, and it makes perfect sense to accommodate this new segment in this year’s event�, said Mr Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director General, Dubai World Trade Centre.

GITEX Shopper 2007 will attract many trade visitors who can take the exhibitor’s business to a whole new level. Fayez Hakim, the Retail Manager of Emirates Computers commented on this fact when he said “We have been exhibiting here for a few years now, and the sales have exceeded expectations each time. The target audience is focussed, the facilities are ideal and the results are showing. We recorded a 15% increase in sales in 2006 compared to the previous year.�

Saleemuddin Khan, General Manager, RadioShack (Global Link Communications LLC) said “Participation at the GITEX Shopper 2006 was an opportunity not only to generate revenue but also further strengthen awareness within UAE and the region. It was a good platform for retailers to recognise their brand exposure in a multi national and multi cultural atmosphere. We experienced a substantial higher turnover during the Show�.

Over 400 FM experts to confer at the 2007 European Facility Management Conference in Zurich.

The significance of facility management, as a means of optimising energy efficiency in buildings, for minimising risk factors and improving cost process and organisational structures, is increasing continuously throughout the world. At the 2007 European Facility Management Conference (EFMC), about 400 attendees will be discussing current trends and challenges in the FM sector at the Swiss National Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, on 26 and 27 June. Prof. Dr. h.c. Lothar Späth (Merrill Lynch Germany) will open the international conference with a paper on “The European Strategy a Model for the Future for a Globalised World. One of the most influential management thinkers, Dr. Kjell A. Nordstrm from the Stockholm School of Economics, will close the wide-ranging conference programme with a talk on Karaoke Capitalism and the Pressure to Innovate.

Between these events, two parallel series of lectures and the simultaneous Sixth EuroFM Research Symposium will also take place at the EFMC. There will be a presentation on best-practice examples from the private and public sectors, a discussion on the subject of energy efficiency and risk management, and a demonstration on the implementation and use of IT systems. Overseas speakers from the USA, Japan, Canada, Spain and other countries will also discuss the issues of cost and workplace management.

This year the European FM Awards will be presented for the first time at the EFMC and will recognise extraordinary achievements in practice, teaching and research.

The focus of our conference is on the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects. The WCE conferences have been serving as good platforms for our members and the entire engineering community to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. The conferences have also stroke a balance between theoretical and application development.

Our WCE 2007 has been organized with conference committees that have been formed with over two hundred and eighty committee members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, and research scientists from over 30 countries. The conferences are truly international meetings with a high level of participation from many countries.

The response that we have received for the congress is excellent. The WCE 2007 has attracted more than seven hundred participants from over 40 countries. All submitted papers have gone through the peer review process. The summary of submissions and accepted papers in WCE 2007 is as follows: total number of submissions reviewed: 756; total number of accepted papers: 431. And the overall acceptance rate in our congress is 57.01%. More twenty keynote and invited speakers are going to appear in WCE 2007.
