Preparations

Preparations for the event are now in full swing. I think we've finally sorted out the travel and lodging arrangements for all our visitors. We are expecting over 65 speakers, about half of whom are coming from outside Saudi Arabia.

The schedule is also done thanks to our Program Committee Chair, Dr. Houria Oudghiri, who's been struggling with the more than 50 presentations and workshops that will be part of the event. We are sending this out soon to all the speakers, but of course there may still be last-minute changes to be made. We are quite proud of the lineup of speakers and talks that we've assembled.

We are very excited to meet all our guests. We are looking forward to learning from you about technology in the different areas that you are experts in. At the same time, we are eager to share information with you about what's going on technology wise in this part of the world. Finally, we also hope that you will get a chance to know more about Effat College, Jeddah, and Saudi Arabia.
