Abu Dhabi: Phase One plans for the staging of the World Ophthalmology Congress (WOC) 2012 - the world's longest continuous medical meeting taking place in Abu Dhabi next February - are now complete.
The organiser, the Middle East Africa Council of Ophthalmology (MEACO), reports that over 900 speakers have been invited to the event; over 2,700 abstracts have been submitted, more than 80 companies have signed on for the associated exhibition, and more than 40 Abu Dhabi hotels are participating.
"The planning is going well and we are on target in terms of our operational goals. Approximately 3,000 square meters, which represents 70 per cent of the targeted exhibition space, has been contracted. We also have platinum, gold and silver sponsors confirmed and more in the pipeline. Abu Dhabi's stakeholders are responding extremely positive- in supporting the congress which will be the largest ever medical congress to be held in the UAE capital with a target of more than 8,000 people visiting the city to attend it," said Dr Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi, President, WOC 2012.
