Info Connect 2007 Kuwait
Just came back from InfoConnect 2007 exhibition at the Mishref fair-grounds. Why am I not surprised to see the lack luster exhibition? I don’t think Kuwait’s IT sector is mature enough  to be part of any of these exhibitions held in Kuwait. The most active stalls are always the mobile phone vendors. Apart from that even big-wigs like Microsoft had terrible time at their stall. They had zero attendees attraction in terms of Vista releases. Apart from all this the active stalls were from QualityNet and Eureka. Surprisingly MTC and Fasttelco were missing. Wataniya has set up an outrageous L-shaped stall which is like probably 30 to 40 meters long, and all they are doing is promoting WNet and it sucks anyhow. I wonder why MTC let go of their e-go launch at this exhibition. There were no enterprise level vendors for system solutions and hardware. Apple were totally invisible too. If you have some free time to kill and nothing productive to do, drop by at InfoConnect, but best bets are for ignoring it completely.
