Invitation

It is my pleasure to welcome and invite all of you to participate in this important and prestigious event, the 14th- IFATSEA Africa Regional Meeting, which will take place from June 25th – 28th, 2024.

Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco, situated in the western part of the country on the Atlantic Ocean. It serves as the country's economic and business hub, boasting a rich history, vibrant culture, and a blend of modernity and tradition. Casablanca has a fascinating history, shaped by various civilizations including Berbers, Phoenicians, Romans, and Arabs. Its name is derived from the Spanish and Portuguese for "White House," reflecting its colonial past. The Hassan II Mosque is a key landmark, renowned for its stunning architecture and being one of the largest mosques in the world. The Old Medina of Casablanca offers a glimpse into the city's historic past, with narrow alleyways, bustling markets, and traditional Moroccan architecture. The Corniche, a scenic coastal boulevard, is a popular destination for leisure and relaxation, offering beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean. Casablanca is the economic capital of Morocco, home to the country's largest port and industrial center. Casablanca boasts a vibrant cultural scene, with theaters, art galleries, and music venues showcasing Moroccan and international talent. The city's cuisine reflects its diverse heritage, blending traditional Moroccan dishes with influences from French, Spanish, and Mediterranean cuisines. The people of Casablanca are known for their warmth and hospitality, contributing to the city's welcoming atmosphere. In summary, Casablanca is a dynamic and cosmopolitan city, blending history, culture, and modernity. Its strategic location, economic importance, and cultural richness make it a fascinating destination for travelers and a thriving metropolis for its residents.

We have an interesting, thought-provoking and varied program, combined with an exciting social program that would allow plenty of opportunities to network and catch up with old friends.

Although the duration of the conference is short, I am in no doubt that it will create a platform for exchange of phenomenal ideas through the technical sessions and presentations.

The Morocco is ready! You can’t afford to miss this rich experience that will be taking place at the north of Africa from June 25th – 28th, 2024.

On this note, and on behalf of the Organizing Committee and AEAC (Moroccan Air Traffic Safety Electronics Association), I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all delegates from around the Africa and the world to the 14th IFATSEA Africa Regional Meeting in Casablanca.
