Abu Dhabi

The conference next week which I can't make... :(

In order to enrich the event even further, we established the Interactive Media Circle (IMC), which includes panels and an exhibition focused on introducing new-media technology to industry players and the general public,' Briggs continued. 

'The exhibit portion of the IMC will take place October 9th through 11th in Abu Dhabi's Marina Mall. 

The combination of cutting edge exhibits and advanced interactive experiences will promote Abu Dhabi as a prime destination for New-Media production in the Middle East. 

It will feature virtual worlds, video games, interactive art, narrative tools and internet communication platforms,' she concluded.
