Specialised PDA devices - a small, portable handheld being sponsored by du, the new telecom operator in the UAE and ASF's technology partner - will be provided to each participant, enabling instant access to session details and the facility to book a place at a specific segment of the forum. The PDA will also allow attendees to coordinate meetings with others at the event by a two-way messaging system.

Yasser Hareb, Coordinator General of ASF, said:

'We are continually striving to raise the bar in event organisation and to better position the ASF as one of the world's leading strategic-thinking platforms. The development and implementation of the technological solutions at this year's event will be instrumental in achieving our goals and allowing participants to maximise the benefit of the ASF.'

Osman Sultan, CEO of du, said: 'By using customised, high tech devices, ASF aims to change the traditional way of organising and managing conferences. As the Technology Partner for the event, we understand the necessity to stay ahead of the curve and are facilitating the technology to do so. This initiative is completely in line with our commitment to offer customized solutions and we are confident this year's ASF will far exceed expectations on every front.'

Interactive touch screens are also being developed exclusively for the event, providing key governmental, economic and social statistics and research details for all Arab countries.

Among those attending this year's event, developed under the theme, 'Creating Opportunity from Change', will be distinguished representatives including heads of State, leading government officials and corporation heads from the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, Europe and Asia. The forum will witness open discussions and interactive debates among speakers, decision makers, experts and participants from across the globe.

About the Arab Strategy Forum 2006

Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the fourth ASF aims to create an environment that is as extraordinary as it is essential to the Arab world. It connects global and regional decision-makers for a strategic purpose-to engage in a hands-on, comprehensive program along four critical program tracks; CEO Agenda, Socio-Economic, Governance and Arab Society.
The three-day program of working sessions will bring together Arab and international heads of state and government with more than 600 of the most influential leaders from business, government and civil society from the Arab world and the rest of the world.

Being developed around the theme 'Creating Opportunity from Change', ASF builds on its prestigious track record to propose an innovative, new format. It aims to nurture a unique type of community that will develop concrete strategies that tackle the most pressing issues faced by the Arab world today.

Through a powerful network, facilitated working sessions, state-of-the-art technology, exclusive knowledge and informal platforms, the ASF, being held on the 4th to the 6th of December 2006, will provide participants with the tools they need to create opportunities from change in their own environments, and so to make a crucial difference to the future of the Arab world.
