This year the conference will be held on 27th & 28th of October in a very special place; Bahrain, a small island in the Arabian Gulf almost the first in every achievement among gulf states; the first public school system, the first in oil discovery, the first F1 racing circuit. Bahrain also boasts the largest modern aluminium smelter in the world, represents the financial hub of the region, and is centrally located between Europe and the far East making it an ideal location for stopovers. Back to the main topic; the conference; a number of international keynote speakers and speakers have already confirmed their participation in the conference. Several topics will be presented and many people will attend this unique event. Whether you are looking to find out how quality professionals have reacted to the economic slowdown to identify the latest trends in the profession, or you simply want to know more about quality and benchmarking then this is the right event for you.
