MUSCAT - A high-profile conference dedicated to the burgeoning Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) industry shortly makes its debut in the Sultanate.

Focusing on the theme, 'Exploring and improving best practice implementation of MEP projects in Oman', the conference will spotlight a wide spectrum of topics of critical interest to all of the key players in this emerging industry.
Taking turns to present on an array of subjects is a distinguished roster of speakers and experts from Oman and abroad.

As the only event of its kind focused on MEP technology and services, the conference is tailored to be of interest to, among others, real estate and industrial developers, consultants, project managers, contractors, engineers, urban planners, architects, facility managers, utility owners, manufacturers and distributors, hoteliers and hospital administrators.
"MEP Oman 2012 is designed to serve as a unique platform that enables all of the major, as well as emerging, MEP players to come together under one roof, evaluate trends in the electro-mechanical space, and work towards meeting the accelerated demand for services in the construction, industrial and tourism segments of the economy. Along with IMTEX Oman, it will offer a first-ever opportunity to network with professionals, showcase the latest technological advancements and innovations, and explore new business prospects in an industry that is ranked only second to civil works in terms of turnover," commented C J Paul, Chief Executive Officer, Global Exhibitions and Conferences (GEC).
