Z/Yen's growing reputation in E-Business and E-Procurement issues has spread to the Arabian Gulf. Following several highly successful London events, Michael and Mary were invited to share their expertise at a major E-Commerce conference in Dubai. Tales of visiting 1001 Arabian Bars were highly exaggerated, although the establishments offering free drinks to the "Ladies" will be concerned to note that Z/Yen have been invited back in March. The E-Procurement Roadshow rolls on in the New Year for the MoD Disposal Services Agency. Any event organisers from warm and sunny locations, are urged to contact Mary O'Callaghan to discuss how the workshop can be adapted to their needs.
