A quote from one of the ITCA Abu Dhabi exhibitors - deSter. “ITCA Abu Dhabi 2012 was a very well-organized exhibition. It was relatively a modest turnout for both exhibitors and visitors, which enhanced the quality of meetings and the time spent per visitor to the stands, translating to dedicated and lengthy attention from the exhibitor to their clients.

ITCA Abu Dhabi represented a fresh new start for the organization and brought back confidence for many of the exhibitors and visitors in the importance of being at this trade show. Etihad did a wonderful job with their sponsored event, so did the ITCA organization with the Mercury award dinner.

We look forward to the 2013 Trade Show and Conference!”
