Amman, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan - December 12, 2023: The
capital, Amman, is set to host the Droidcon Global Conference, the
franchise name for a series of community conferences in Europe, focused
on software development for Google's Android smartphone framework.
The droidcon conferences are the largest Android developer conferences
held outside the USA.
The Conference will be organized next January 18 to 20, 2024, by OMNES
Media and its technical arm, OMNES Technologies, as the approved
organizer of the ‘droidconamman’ edition in Amman, Jordan. The event is
in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship
and the Digital Skills Association, and under patronage of the Jordan
Tourism Board (JTB).
On this occasion, Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship,
Ahmad Al Hanandeh, emphasized the importance of supporting such
technical conferences. These events provide vital opportunities for
university students and professionals working in the telecommunications
and IT sector to keep up with the latest technologies and innovations. They
also contribute to exchange of knowledge and the creation of employment
opportunities for the Jordanian youth, which are in alignment with the
goals of the Digital Skills Association.

The Director General of the Jordan Tourism Board (JTB), Dr. Abdul Razzaq
Arabiyat, stressed on the importance of holding the Conference in the
Jordanian capital, Amman, and welcomed visiting participants visiting the
country. “Mobile computing has revolutionized the tourism sector through
the way we interact with technology, and the ability to access information
and communicate about tourism has become essential in today’s fast-
paced world,” Arabiyat said.
Arabiyat pointed out that the JTB seeks to enhance its contribution in
supporting and sponsoring conferences concerned with tourism, especially
those aiming to attract, market and promote Jordan as distinct destination.
“As part of its strategy for 2024, JTB seeks to make Jordan a distinguished
destination for attracting, producing and integrating technology with
tourism promotion at the local and regional levels. The JTB also supports
tourism technology-based development as part of its strategy for
innovation, creativity and efficiency, and also by creating an interactive
model that stimulates and enhances innovation in business tourism, and
the sponsorship of this conference is based on its importance in promoting
business tourism,” he added.
The droidcon conference hosts a comprehensive range of events,
workshops and services to improve the skills and expertise of Android
developers around the world. Since 2009, the droidcon conference has
supported the Android operating and programming system to become a
globally recognized brand, a one-stop resource for professional developers,
and a reliable platform that connects many brands, partners, and the
Android developer community.
Commenting on the announcement, Fahed Aldeeb, CEO of OMNES Media,
said: “droidcon events are held in more than 25 technology hubs in five
continents, with more than 25,000 developers and professionals
participating every year. Today, we are delighted to announce that Amman

has joined this global network and will be a technology destination for
Android developers both locally and regionally.”
Aldeeb thanked the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, the
Digital Skills Association, and the JTB for their cooperation and contribution
to organizing this important and purposeful conference that brings many
benefits for the Android community in Jordan. During its three days of
operation, the conference will host about 1,000 participants from university
students, programmers, specialists and representatives of technology
companies to get acquainted with the latest developments in the industry
and to learn about the best programming solutions, in addition to
introductions to the brightest young Jordanian talents in the world of
Android.
Aldeeb stressed the importance of the Android platform as a major global
system in operating mobile devices, with a global market share of about
71%, compared to iOS’s 28%, according to a study recently published by
Statista.com. At the same time, the Android developer community includes
nearly six million developers around the world.
It is worth noting that the Digital Skills Association was established with the
support of the Youth, Technology, and Jobs project funded by the World
Bank and overseen by the Ministry of Digital Economy and
Entrepreneurship. The association aims to develop and manage the labour
market in the telecommunications and IT sector, matching skills and
qualifications with the demands of the Jordanian job market. This effort
contributes to the improvement of the education and vocational and
technical training sector, as well as the monitoring and evaluation of
services and training programs along with their outcomes.
Recently, Mobile Seasons GmbH has granted OMNES a license to use the
trademark and other intellectual property rights related to the organization
and management of the droidcon conference in the Hashemite Kingdom of

Jordan. OMNES Media will also provide the promotional and marketing
support for the conference, including advertising and promotion on its
