Corrado Peraboni, president, UFI, commented, “We are delighted to be returning to the Middle East – the last congress that took place there was in Abu Dhabi in 2012 (hosted by ADNEC). This region is of great importance to UFI, and this is the message we wish to communicate.”

The UFI Board of Directors made the decision during a May 02 meeting in Verona, Italy.

Kai Hattendorf, CEO, UFI, recently welcomed H.E. Mohsin Al Balushi, chairman, Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre, to the UFI Headquarters in Paris, France to officialise the arrangements by the signing of a hosting agreement.
