Beside the information gathered from presentations, there was ample time for networking and communication.

GATE’s message “The role of suppliers for emerging airports” - submitted by Dieter A. Heinz - was in the essence “…rely on the German quality airport industry at any stage of development” and he proved it with references in the history of aviation in the Gulf and the ME.
