Additionally, the event offered local experts’ insights into best practices in documentation, archiving, and preservation from around the world, which will surely lead to significant improvements in information management, digitalisation methods, and archival techniques. We had five distinguished speakers for each of the five sub- themes of the ICA Congress, including HE Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of State for Tolerance and Coexistence; François Hollande, Former President of France; Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, President and Chief Executive Officer of the UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators [UICCA]; Laura Millar, a widely published thought leader and scholar in records, archives, and information management, and Dr Shashi Tharoor, an Indian politician serving as a Member of Parliament. Nearly 60 exhibitors participated in the ICA Congress Abu Dhabi. What were you hoping to achieve by expanding the exhibition segment? By significantly expanding the exhibition segment to include more than 60 exhibitors, we were looking to achieve several important objectives. The primary goal was to provide a premier platform for participants to engage in networking, exchange ideas, and explore innovative opportunities for collaboration. As interests and investments in public programming, digital record keeping, and archival collections management have become more prominent in the Middle East, the expanded exhibition segment allowed professionals to showcase their products, services, and expertise related to these areas.

Q & A with His Exellency Dr Abdulla Al Raisi, Cultural Adviser at the UAE Presidential Court and Chairman of the Higher Organisation Committee of ICA Congress Abu Dhabi 2023 Abu Dhabi hosted the first ICA Congress in the Middle East in October 2023. What led to this international archival gathering being held in the UAE capital and what opportunities did it offer for the region’s archives? The decision to host the International Council on Archives [ICA] Congress in Abu Dhabi was driven by several factors. The UAE places significant emphasis on preserving its vast and rich cultural heritage and traditions while simultaneously embracing modernisation and innovation. As part of this mission, the country has created a comprehensive framework with detailed plans and strategies to improve heritage maintenance and conservation. This is one of the reasons we decided to hold the ICA Congress in the UAE this year. We believe that holding the ICA Congress in the Middle East has opened numerous opportunities for the region’s archives sector. For instance, the event drew global attention to the region’s archival institutions and allowed professionals to showcase their work, share innovative ideas, engage in intellectual discussions, and learn from international experts. This exposure is bound to foster new collaborations and knowledge exchange that can drive the progress of the regional archives sector.
