World Youth Championship
EMIRATES 2003by Khaled Al Mazrouei (EC6)
Preparations to the WYC 2003 started about 2 years ago starting from maintaining stadiums around the UAE and ending at organizing the main event. Five
students where chosen by Al Ain Men’s College to volunteer in
organizing a press conference (seminar)
inviting CEOs and presidents of all the main companies in the
UAE to attend. The purpose of this seminar is to inform these
companies about the WYC and what is their role in this event. This
event occurred in the Intercontinental Hotel Al-Ain
on the 22nd December 2002. click here to continue
Our first
mission was to meet with some people from Al Ain club and decide the
steps of what we are going to do and our responsibilities in the
seminar. The thing that helped us the most was attending all those
E-commerce field visits, presentations
and seminars in Dubai, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi. We learnt the
importance of meetings, time and project management and why planning
is so vital. Some of these great ideas that we saw in these
past seminars were implemented in the WYC Emirates 2003
informative seminar.
We learnt such delegation and project management skills and it’s importance from our Ecommerce studies. We also learnt about the importance of planning as well and why it is necessary to plan for such an event in advance. A week prior to the seminar, meetings and workshops were held every single day to make sure that we didn’t miss any little detail. We had to print posters of the WYC 2003 and display them next to where cameras are going to be flashing. We even had to arrange the seats and the stage.
