ABWA Official Website – This year, the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly has participated in the 13^th Virtual-Space Content Technologies Exhibition “CTEX” with a single booth.

In an interview with the ABNA reporter, while appreciating the General Directorate of Publications of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly for providing the conditions to attend this exhibition, Ebrahim Amini, director of WikiShia Encyclopedia, stated, “AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly has participated in the 13^th Virtual-Space Content Technologies Exhibition “CTEX”, with departments of Cyberspace, WikiShia, ABNA News Agency. The Assembly also has introduced the Nabaa application.”

“For the first time, the achievements of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in the virtual space have been displayed in this exhibition,” he said, “During the last few days the WikiShia, ABNA News Agency, and the Virtual Space Department of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly were introduced to the visitors.”

Criticizing the inappropriate placement of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly booth in CTEX, Amini stated, “Although one of the positive points of the exhibition is that the booths are arranged by topic and theme, the Assembly booth should have been placed in the Organizations and Institutions Section. But unfortunately, this did not happen, and we were placed in another section. Besides, they were supposed to provide a large booth (36 square meters) for the Assembly, but they provided a small booth (20 square meters).”

“I hope that this flaw will be removed in the next exhibitions, and with proper placement, the Virtual Space Department of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly will attract more audience,” he added.

“WikiShia and ABNA News Agency were somehow newcomers in such exhibitions, and they are gaining experience. One of the issues that seem to be paid attention to is the arrangement of booths and appropriate equipment, which I hope will be resolved in future exhibitions,” Amini said.

“The Virtual-Space Content Technologies Exhibition was opened a day later than the scheduled date. Also, the booths were provided to the participants about 24 hours later than the due time,” WikiShia Encyclopedia Director complained.

“Some visitors didn’t know WikiShia at all, and after Googling it, they were surprised,” Amini said in the end, “After it was explained to them that WikiShia is an encyclopedia and it has been ranked high in searches, it was very attractive to them.”

It is worth mentioning that the 13^th Virtual-Space Content Technologies Exhibition “CTEX”, attended by activists and producers in the field of digital media and computer games in more than 290 booths, welcomes visitors and those interested in this great cultural event from February 5 until February 8, 2023, from 10:00 to 18:00.

This exhibition opened in an area of 10,000 square meters, with 221 booths for the digital media section, and 70 booths in the computer games. /345/
