In part one of a two-part series about trade shows and conferences in Dubai, the July 18th issue of Global View Notes, a corporate newsletter from Rogers Worldwide (written by Michelle Bruno), covers the cultural considerations and logistical concerns of organizing a conference and trade show in the emirate. APCO International, the association for the public safety communications industry, is profiled in the article. With the uprisings in the Middle East, the so-called “Arab Spring” is driving event business to the city-state and organizers are finding the level of service and hospitality to be exceptional. Part two will highlight shipping trade show materials to Dubai.
