From the Director
I would like to thank
everyone who took part in the 20th Annual IAOM Mideast &
Africa District Conference & Expo in
Antalya, Turkey.
I hope all of you could benefit a lot from the meeting.
The interest for participating in the 20th Annual
IAOM Mideast & Africa District Conference & Expo was greater this year
than previous years and the targeted participant number was reached long
before the registration deadline. In total there were 621 delegates from
39 countries participating in the conference and expo (including 66
exhibiting companies from 18 countries). In addition to this, the
district’s positive development is shown on the high increase in IAOM
memberships in the past year.
The event was a great success due to the diverse conference
program and the close by exhibition hall full of enthusiastic
exhibitors. The district’s centralized conference organization, the
entertainment programs during the dinners and their unique locations
were also highly appreciated by the participants.
We are completely revising the educational seminar focusing
more into management issues relating to the milling industry such as
Finance, HR & Safety.
All presentations from the IAOM Turkey 2009 are
now available for download on the district’s website
www.iaom-mea.com
under ‘Educational Materials’.
As we hope to further
develop the Mideast & Africa district events and educational materials,
we at IAOM Mideast & Africa District are available for suggestions or
questions at
info@iaom-mea.com at anytime.
Please also give your comments about the IAOM MEA 2009
Conference and
Expo in the evaluation form so we can improve wherever it is
required and we maintain the existing standards.
I would be pleased to see you all again in the 21st
Annual IAOM Mideast & Africa District Conference & Expo in Cape Town,
South Africa on November 22–25, 2010.
