"GITEX is the top ICT event in this region and a very important one for us. It is an
ideal forum for us to reach our existing and potential customers and partners from
across the Middle East under one roof. We are planning to showcase SMART
Technologies' innovative solutions at our stand," says Elhamy Kamel, CEO, iMARK
Distribution. "We are happy that SMART Technologies has been able to create a huge
impact in the Middle East market, both in the corporate as well as education
sectors. Not only did SMART invent the world's first interactive whiteboard, it has
led global sales in every quarter since the product's introduction. Today, SMART has
expansive product lines providing better collaborative learning tools and we want to
highlight these products at GITEX."

iMARK is the regional distributor for SMART Technologies, the industry pioneer and
market leader in developing collaborative products for classrooms and meeting rooms.
Since introducing the first SMART Board interactive whiteboard in 1991, SMART
Technologies has led the way in introducing interactive ICT tools for more
productive collaboration whether in the classroom or in a meeting room. It has been
the category leader by a distance with the largest installed base of interactive
whiteboards globally in educational institutions. iMark introduced the Smart Board
in the Middle East markets since 1998 and enjoys more than 75% market share of the
region.

Currently in its sixth generation, the SMART Board interactive whiteboard line has
grown to include models integrated with projectors and other tools. SMART's focus
has expanded to include a variety of supporting hardware, software and content to
create complete classroom and meeting room solutions.

Among the products exhibited at GITEX will be four new product platforms, SMART
Custom Solution, SMART Meeting Pro, SMART Hub SE and SMART Hub PE, specifically
targeted at corporate users who view collaboration as a business imperative. These
products combine with single or multiple SMART Board interactive whiteboards and
SMART Board interactive displays to create connected meeting rooms where dispersed
staff can instantly set up a data conference, write in digital ink over any
application and save their work, share desktops and notes, and participate as if
they were in the same room.
