Through the years, the annual 'SLA-AGC' Conference & Exhibition brings together leading academic institutions and decision makers from across the GCC to connect to a very large and active network of information professionals and solution providers. This year's conference will be conducted under the theme 'Virtual Knowledge in Information Institutions: Issues and Perspectives', and will bring to the region an exhibit of the latest information resources and technologies. Edutech's continuing presence at the event is being driven by the event's capability to connect the company with customers and prospects as well as the excellent venue it offers for showcasing new and existing products in Edutech's portfolio.
"Our participation in 'SLA-AGC' Conference & Exhibition has always been motivated by our commitment to promoting next generation libraries, and meeting new publishers. Gaining the opportunity to showcase our solutions at this event enables us to push these goals even further.
