MEMI 2006, a combined initiative taken by the Bahrain Convention and Exhibition Bureau (BCEB), the Ministry of Industry & Commerce, Bahrain Civil Defence and Bahrain Society of Engineers (BSE) and aims to contribute and enhance the integration of the regional measurement and calibration standards to meet international trends.

Held once every two years, this is the 3rd Metrology Conference and Exhibition. After the successful completion of the two previous events in 2002 and 2004 respectively, MEMI has established itself as one of the essential shows in the events calendar of the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The conference will focus on all areas of metrology and in particular highlight the developments made in metrology in recent years. Both the Conference & Exhibition are expected to attract substantial participation from the related field. The Exhibition is expected to provide an excellent opportunity for the manufacturers and service providers to show-case their products and services to their target customers not to mention exchange of ideas from experts from all around the globe.

Besides the wide range of topics being discussed, the conference will also witness expert speakers and leading organisations from the field such as: the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), USA, Organisation Internationale de Metrologie Legale (OIML) and the GCC Standardisation to name a few.
