Dr. Khalid Khawaja, Chair of AUD's IT department said:
"I am positive that this event will help enhance the understanding of Intellectual Capital and Knowledge Management in the region and will encourage individuals and organizations to get acquainted with what the latest technologies have to provide in these areas."
The Conference is chaired jointly by Doctor Yousif Asfour formerly chair of IT Department at AUD, and Doctor Jamal El-Den of the American University in Beirut. Professor Dan Remenyi of Trinity College Dublin is the Program Chair responsible for the academic content in the papers presented.
Mr. Joseph Hanania, Managing Director, HP Middle East, delivered the key note address where he shed light on the significance of intellectual capital and knowledge management.
Following the keynote address, the conference split into various workshops or 'streams' that concentrated on Knowledge Management and Intellectual Capital vis-à-vis their applications on an individual and management level within a corporate organization. Speakers discussed these subjects in context to the different commercial as well as organization environments.
One of the highlights of the Conference was the knowledge café which allowed participants to both network with each other and share ideas on a number of subjects. This technique has proven very popular at Conferences and it may easily be adapted by conference participants for use in their own environments or institutions.
