via the RSGB: WRC-23 Day-0: Nearly Ready

Final preparations are nearly complete for the opening of the 2023 World Radio Conference (WRC-23) at the large Dubai World Trade Centre venue. This is the second recent WRC which has been held away from the ITU home in Geneva, following WRC-19 in Egypt.

Following a long overnight Saturday flight from the UK and hotel check-in, it was prudent to recover quickly and complete registration for your access badge on Sunday. This made you appreciate that a modest looking distance on the map was a far longer walk from the UK team hotel  – with high outdoor temperatures. But that was better than Friday, when a major downpour had delayed flights and temporarily closed the venue.
