Despite Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, this year’s IAOM MEA forum took place – virtually.
Following four years of successful gatherings, the main objective of the IAOM in the Middle East and Africa forum remains, said Mr Ali Habaj, the IAOM MEA Regional Director - and that wasn’t going to be broken this year.
He said the goal of IAOM MEA was to reach millers and provide intensive technical training and education; address challenges, discuss mill operations their consistency and improvement and resolve problems faced by milling companies in the Middle East and Africa.
“On behalf of the International Association of Operative Millers MEA Region, I welcome you to the IAOM MEA Virtual Milling Forum 2020! As the world is facing extremely challenging times, where gathering with peers, colleagues and friends are restricted or even forbidden in some cases, the way events are done have mutated from a strictly live gathering to online experiences.”
Mr Habaj said therefore, this year’s forum was headed towards the virtual experience by bringing together technical staff, head millers, production managers, machinery suppliers and laboratory equipment suppliers through the Zoom online meetings platform which provides secure sharing of presentations, interaction between speakers and participants as well as allowing attendees to build their networks.
He thanked the IAOM MEA Education Committee, its chairman and organizing team who brought together “this first online edition of the forum” and to all speakers and sponsors for their continuing support in its renewed mission to deliver education and training to professionals in the grain milling industries.
He concluded by wishing all participants well over the three-day online experience and was looking forward to meeting everyone in person in 2021 for the 31st IAOM MEA annual conference and exposition.
