Dear Exhibitor

We would like to inform you of IraqiAmerican Chamber of Commerce & Industry “Third Annual Kurdistan DBX Trade Show” Novembe11th – 14th, 2007, Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan, Iraq, and the only international trade show in Iraq that is managed by Iraqi American Chamber of Commerce and Industry a 300 plus employee organization founded in the United States and have operated in Iraq since May 2003 with over 7000 members 90% are Iraqi members from across the country which makes us unique as an exhibit organizers. The first annual Kurdistan in Arbil, September, 15th, attracted over 95,000 visitors and last year event we had over 106,000 visitor, the 10,000 SM facility was build by IACCI at a cost of more than 3 million dollars. We would like you to consider the following facts before you decide where to exhibit in the next rebuild Iraq show in 2007:

  1. When you exhibit at Kurdistan DBX Kurdistan, November 11th – 14th, 2007, Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan, your company will attract the largest number of potential buyers, you want buyers and not competing exhibitors.
  2. Iraqi Central Government, will participate and send thousands of engineers, purchasing managers, department managers, buyers, technical managers to Kurdistan DBX, they did last year and they will send even more this year
  3. Kurdistan Regional Government, will do the same, Kurdistan is the fastest growing region in Iraq
  4. Iraqi Private Sector from throughout Iraq will participate, it is easy for them to come to Kurdistan and often it is very difficult to go to other countries to attend shows, because of stringent visa requirements, high cost associated with international travel, and language barriers.
  5. A new and vibrant Private Sector is emerging in Iraq, starting new companies, signing new agency agreements, trading with companies from around the world and joining the international global market to rebuild Iraq after decades of neglect, and being cutoff from the rest of the world
  6. IraqiAmerican Chamber of Commerce & Industry is not only a trade show company but essentially we are a chamber of commerce established in 2003 to help build bridges, networking, and trading partnerships between our 7000 plus Iraqi members and the rest of the world. IACCI started as a simple idea in the United States by some 300 IraqiAmericans and today we have offices throughout Iraq, with over 300 employees with some of the best and brightest Iraqi people you can find. After the show we will help you with your needs long after the show is gone by continuing to answer your questions no matter what they might be
  7. If your company is serious about Iraq and wants to do business in Iraq or you want to expand your existing business then you need to demonstrate your commitment to the Iraqi government and Iraqi business community, ask them and they will tell you: if you are interested then please show your commitment, visit us in Iraq and we will make sure that your commitment is rewarded
  8. World Bank estimate that a minimum of $50 billion are necessary for the rebuilding of Iraq, the US department of Energy estimates are over 100 billion, what ever the estimates are, it is clear that no country will spend more to build its infrastructure, rehabilitate its industry from oil, electricity, domestic durable goods, capital goods, telecommunication, food stuff, irrigation, water and sewer, reclamation, city planning, security equipment, agriculture needs, health and medical and safety needs, IT needs, did I forget anything, then assume Iraq needs it
  9. If your company is interested in quick return, do not waist your time reading the rest of this letter, BUT if your company is interested to build a lasting and very profitable trading and investment opportunities in Iraq, then do not miss this fantastic chance, you will never be sorry and you will establish your company in Iraq for many years to come
  10. Logistics, Logistics, Logistics, from travel, visa, accommodations, customs, and shipping are all handled through IraqiAmerican Chamber of Commerce & Industry and we will make sure your visit is as comfortable and memorable as can be.
  11. Iraqi people including the Kurdish ethnic people of Kurdistan and the Iraqi people in general are the most generous and hospitable in the world, ask others that have had the chance to do business in Iraq and have visited Iraq in the past and they will tell you about us, the people of Iraq. We want you to experience that hospitality and the natural beauties of Kurdistan, come alone or bring your friends, spouse or business partner
  12. Safe, Safe, Safe, Kurdistan is safe, Kurdistan has experienced a long period of safety, for over fifteen years Kurdistan was part of the No Flying Zone and out of reach of the Iraqi central government and therefore has established all the necessary connivances of a modern cities from Arbil, Duhok, Sulymania and Zakho
  13. Two international airports serve the area and flights from Dubai, Amman, Frankfort and other cities operate on regularly scheduled flights


See you in Sulaimaniya
