The event, which is organized by the pioneers of quiz competition, Dubaiquiz.com, is considered to be UAE's first industry specific quiz challenge, and will be held on the 4th of June 2005 at the Dubai Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dubai. Targeted primarily at UAE's IT community, the event, which is in its third successful year, is open for participation to all IT and non-IT companies and will be hosted by the famed quiz master, Derek O' Brien.

"Following the overwhelming response to the previous years' challenge, this year the event is expected to attract keen interest not only from IT professionals but also from the general public whose lives have been touched by information technology (IT) in one way or the other," said Mr. K.V. Narayanan, Sales Manager, Samsung Gulf Electronics. "The UAE has always had a fast growing pool of IT talent and the 'Samsung Brain Challenge' is an ideal platform to showcase this expertise."

There will be two participants in each team and the entry fee is AED 350/- per team. The content for this quiz will be simple and cover topics such as sports, entertainment, lifestyle, travel and Information Technology.
