The Forum is an important regional event that brings together international leaders and experts in the field of ICT to highlight the strategic importance of ICT education and innovation. His Majesty King Abdullah interacted with the participants, later expressing his enormous pride and support for Jordanian pioneering youths brilliant achievements. He went on to describe their outstanding level of creativity, encouraging them to continue to move forward towards even greater achievement. Waleed, who presented a project developed in Dubai called Virtual Reality, had this to share: This was a truly unique experience, and we felt honoured to present such an innovative product. Very exciting. A little overwhelming too. His Majesty and Her Majesty were very supportive and attentive, giving me lots of time and attention and making me feel comfortable. The event was so inspiring. If this is what people are capable of at this point in history, I cant wait to see where well be in ten years time! Congratulations, IAA team, on a job well-done!
