The AIAS USEK Chapter will be hosting the second AIAS international Conference from March 5 to March 9, 2019. This Conference acts as a continuation and development of the success of last year’s conference, which was held in Dubai. It essentially provides an opportunity for international members to gather and create a strong and unified AIAS community, and simultaneously launch a debate between students and professionals against a backdrop of conferences, roundtables, and workshops.
