World Mail & Express adds air cargo for the Middle East and Africa

Building on the success of the World series Triangle is joining forces with Dubai based Streamline Marketing to bring a fully inclusive Expo covering mail, express and air cargo to the Middle East. The event is taking place at the Dubai International Convention Centre on 1-2 March 2005 and will bring together not only the region’s industry leaders, but also major players from around the globe.

The expo will be much larger than previous World Mail & Express events with over 70 exhibitors expected to showcase their latest products, technologies and services. Delegates will be able to browse the stands and network with potential new clients and suppliers across the two days.

Running adjacent to the exhibition will be a high-level conference offering two parallel streams for the postal, express and air cargo industries. Big issues including the effects of privatisation, emerging markets, security, competition and terminal dues will be tackled alongside global case studies and examples of best practice.

Notable speakers already confirmed include Abdullah Ibrahim Al Daboos, Emirates Post; Hamdi A Osman, FedEx; Ali Mohammad Al Ali Madeed, Qatar Post; Fadi Ghandour, Aramex International Couriers; Phil Couchman, DHL and Ram Menen, Emirates Airlines.

The host sponsor of the event is Emirates Post, supported by Aramex and DHL.

Major mail, express and air cargo end users can apply for free places, as customers to the industry – they should apply to Paul.Trott@triangle.eu.com
