The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC)
has announced that it will showcase the Dubai International Convention Centre (DICC) at the forthcoming
Arabian Travel Market (ATM), which is scheduled to take place at the Airport
Expo from May 6th to 9th.
"ATM will provide the ideal stage for us to bring co-participants, trade
visitors and the regional and international media covering the event, up to
date with the developments of this new world-class facility to be managed
by us," said DWTC Director General, Mubarak bin Fahad.
He noted that the DWTC would highlight the flexibility of the new
multipurpose hall, one of the salient features of the new facility during ATM.
The DICC will offer more than 10,000 square metres of prime meeting space
and have the capacity to accommodate up to 12,000 delegates.
"The DICC characterises the natural succession of DWTC's business and
growth and is carefully planned to provide momentum to Dubai's status as
an emerging destination for the meetings, incentives, conferences and
exhibitions," Mr. bin Fahad remarked.
The new facility is big enough to accommodate events with up to 12,000
delegates and its main multipurpose hall has the capacity to hold from 600
to 6000 delegates. When set as an auditorium, for the maximum capacity, it
will feature 2,500 retractable seats in a tiered setting and an additional 2,000
seats on the flat.
The new Convention Centre is the host venue for the 58th Annual General
Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to be held in September 2003.
"The DICC has the distinct advantage that it is backed by the professional
expertise of the DWTC, one of the most enduring brands in the UAE, which
has been operating in the Middle East region for more than two decades and
has significant capability and experience in the coordination and management of international exhibitions and events," Mr. bin Fahad
observed. |
