The conference program will focus on how all types of RFID technologies—active, Wi-Fi, passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF), passive high-frequency (HF) and more—can be used to improve operations in the construction, oil and gas, and logistics sectors. Like all RFID Journal events, LIVE! Middle East 2010 will feature leading end users objectively explaining how they employ the technologies to enhance efficiencies and streamline business processes.
RFID Journal LIVE! Middle East, RFID Journal's second annual event in the region, will feature technology exhibits and demonstrations conducted by some of the world's leading RFID companies. "RFID Journal is known worldwide for delivering high-value content that helps end users benefit from utilizing radio frequency identification," says Mark Roberti, RFID Journal's founder and editor. "I am extremely pleased that we are able to provide top-level education and bring top-level exhibitors to the Middle East. This really is a unique opportunity for companies across the region to learn about how RFID can be used in their operations, and to meet the vendors that can help them deploy a successful solution."
