![Invitation Letter for AMIC Dubai 2015 from AUD]()
Dec 9, 2014 | Annual Conference, Events
Dear AMIC Board of Directors and Members,
On behalf of the American University in Dubai, I would like to extend a warm invitation for you to join us in June 2015 here in Dubai for the 24th International AMIC Conference. The Mohammed bin Rashid School for Communication (MBRSC) is pleased to have been selected to host this prestigious conference.
The call for papers has already been launched, and we request for you to help us distribute this notice far and wide. The official conference website, along with the compendium social media, will allow us to communicate with each other over the next several months. This website will serve to provide pertinent information concerning the conference and the city of Dubai. We also hope to be able to answer any questions you may have via interaction on the social media sites.
The success of the conference depends chiefly on the quality of participation and the dynamics of the discussions that our forums elicit. We hope that you will be able to join us for this unique opportunity to strengthen our understanding of “e-society” in Asia. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to meet and share our understandings.
On behalf of the local organizing committee, I once again extend an invitation for you to join us in June 2015. We look forward to welcoming you to “The Centre of Now” – our beautiful city of Dubai.
Ali M. Jaber,
Dean, MBRSC

Globally, the last decade has seen exponential growth in the use of mobile technologies and the Internet. From e-mail to e-governance, e-commerce to e-learning, Internet usage has changed the way the world communicates.
At the forefront of the electronic and digital revolution in Asia has been the mobile phone. Recent International Telecommunication Union (ITU) statistics indicate that in the period from 2005 to 2013, mobile (cellular) phone subscriber numbers in the Asia-Pacific region have soared from 833 million to 3,547 million users. The era of an e-Asia has dawned.
