On 24 July 2019, BICSI EMEA successfully held its 2nd Annual B-NET at the Marriot
Harbour Hotel in Dubai. With 62 delegates, the event significantly grew from the
previous year. The BICSI B-NET is an opportunity for industry professionals to network
and is a platform for BICSI staff to update those in attendance on the EMEA Region's
upcoming activities.
The evening began with networking over canapés and beverages. Paul Weintraub,
RCDD, ESS, RTPM, TECH, CAE, BICSI Vice President of Global Development and
Support and Haitham Hussien, RCDD, BICSI UAE Vice Chair presented two delegates
with their RCDD
®
certificates and congratulated them on their achievements.
Later Paul Weintraub and BICSI EMEA Region Manager Rob Chandler gave a presen-
tation on the EMEA Region's upcoming activities, including the 3rd Annual ACE Summit
and the 2020 BICSI EMEA Region Conference & Exhibition. The crowd was engaged,
taking photographs of the presentation slides and lining up to speak with Paul and
Rob afterward. The event continued with lively interactions until its close.
The 2nd Annual B-NET saw a 30 percent increase in delegates compared to last year.
In addition, there were many new faces of those who wanted to be involved with
BICSI in some way—individuals from companies such as Tarkeeb, Etisalat, Meinhardt,
ARP and more. Thanks to the support of BICSI volunteers, the 2nd Annual B-NET was
a huge success!
