Houssam Tantawi, Executive Director of Sales at Emirates Palace says, "We are proud to be hosting such an event; MICE is a very important market for the emirate of Abu Dhabi as well as Emirates Palace, as they both carry such potential. Major organizations around the world are realising the resources and facilities that our region offers, and we at the Palace are deeply encouraging more of these types of events."

The congress is expected to run smoothly as the technology found at the Palace is state of the art. With over 7000sqm of meeting and conference space, the Palace is home to the country's largest ballroom, a 1200 seat auditorium, a high tech media centre and over 40 meeting rooms for one to choose from.

The conference centre facilities have wireless internet coverage, are fully equipped with projectors, motorized screens, plasma screens, microphones, audio-visual systems, wireless and wire data systems, special sound systems, video conferencing systems and IP camera and broadcast camera connectivity.
