How different was the ICA Congress Abu Dhabi from the previous editions? While the previous editions of the ICA congress were very interesting and fruitful, the main difference between this congress and previous editions was the support of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Presidential Court of the United Arab Emirates. This indeed made the event an unforgettable experience for attendees and participants alike. It was the first time an ICA Congress was held in an Arab country and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many of the participants from abroad visiting the UAE. Overall, it was a hugely successful event because it offered participants the chance to connect and learn from the experiences of experts and leaders coming to the UAE to participate in the congress. ICA Congress Abu Dhabi 2023 was a major event during which archivists and others from around the globe exchanged ideas, presented their latest research and findings, and networked. The congress attracted a wide range of participants, including top- level decision makers from world- renowned archives, administrators, managers, academics, researchers, students, and IT professionals as well as individuals who had interest in the preservation of history through records.

Q & A with Hamad Al Mutairi, Chair of the Professional Programme of ICA Congress Abu Dhabi 2023, and Director of the Archives Department at the UAE National Library and Archives The ICA Congress Abu Dhabi 2023 covered five progressive themes with topics extending went beyond the archival sector. What kind of audience were you hoping to attract with these topics? The theme for the ICA Congress Abu Dhabi, Enriching Knowledge Societies, was split into five subthemes that were designed to reflect societies’ current concerns. In its innovative approach, the congress was oriented to the most challenging questions of interest related to archiving. For example, climate change is high on the public’s agenda at the moment. It is not immediately obvious as to how climate change fits with archiving, but would we even know there was a climate problem without meticulous historical climate records having been kept, in some instances, over hundreds of years?
