Great for Delegates AND Exhibtors The 2018 BICSI Middle East & Africa (MEA) Conference was record-breaking, but we're looking to make the 2019 conference even better! One way is to introduce exciting new features to the Exhibit Hall, giving exhibitors more opportunities to increase their industry exposure and providing delegates with additional time to discover new ways to grow their company. What's New in the Exhibit Hall? • Expanded Exhibit Hall Hours: now open an additional day (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) • Larger Stand Sizes: more space for exhibitors to interact with potential customers • BICSI Theater: 15-minute exhibitor presentations in an exclusive area of the Exhibit Hall • New Product Pavilion: a section of the show floor dedicated to exhibitors with new products and services Exhibiting can help you reach hundreds of ICT professionals and stand out as a leading industry resource.
