Destination Baghdad Expo (DBX)

From the Iraqi American Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IACCI)target="_blank">website.

EXPO & Trade Show Organizer: IACCI is a significant player and the only independent and member funded organization in Iraq with a full time staff dedicated to organize trade shows in Iraq and outside Iraq. Destination Baghdad EXPO “DBX” is our first trade show which was scheduled for May 25th in Baghdad at the historic Baghdad International Fair and some $700,000 was spent to renovate and plan for the historic event which was named the “Grand Opening to Iraq” by the Coalition Provisional Authority “CPA” and was unfortunately postponed to a later date in 2004 for reasons beyond our control. Visit www.dbxexpo.com to see all 300 companies that committed to participate at this historic event like GE, GM, Mercedes, Microsoft, HP and Motorola and subsequently last June 25th, a smaller version of DBX was moved to Diyarbakir, Turkey to avoid security concerns. 130 companies exhibited at the Diyarbakir and the largest delegation of IACCI members, some 1500 where organized, visas, transportation, and accommodation was provided by IACCI.
