A new feature this year at Mecom features a series of one-day 'Communications in Enterprise' forums spread over three days, covering specific industry sectors from manufacturing, oil and gas, healthcare to travel and hospitality.

To underscore Mecom's importance to the regional industry, service providers Etisalat, Du and the UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, have all confirmed their presence at the event this year, as well as international market research companies such as Ovum.
