ATMIA and RBR are once again joining forces to present Middle East ATMs 2010, the follow-up to the highly successful inaugural conference held two years ago in Dubai.

Middle East ATMs 2010 is the only dedicated ATM conference and expo in the fast-growing Gulf region, bringing together banks, independent deployers, network processors, vendors and service providers at one event.

The conference, which will take place on January 11th and 12th at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Dubai Deira Creek, boasts an exceptional speaker line-up focused on deployer case studies, providing delegates with the opportunity to learn from the experiences of organisations from across the region.

A wide range of topics will be covered by the 26 keynote speakers, including Islamic banking, self-service strategy, deposit automation and recycling, branch optimisation, advanced functionality, security, software testing and ATM outsourcing.

Having recently outsourced the management of its ATM network, Qatar National Bank will discuss its experiences thus far. ABANA, the company which manages the ATMs of the Saudi deployer Bank al--Bilad, will expand on this topic from the outsourcer's point of view.

The Association of Banks in Jordan will present its latest research on the Jordanian ATM market, which is becoming one of the region's most sophisticated.

The event will also feature an exhibit area, allowing delegates the chance to view products and services from a variety of leading industry suppliers.
