“As the organizers of the largest trade event in the Middle East during 2009, the Big 5 Building and Construction show, we are excited to hear about a dedicated event in the Middle East for MICE industry. Whilst business opportunities abound throughout the Middle East, despite the pressures of the global recession, and although the events market continues to perform very well we always need to see new and innovative suppliers and solutions. The events industry in the region is hungry for development and we’ll look closely at suppliers attending this event.”

“The countries of the Gulf are developing so rapidly that an event supplier with intelligence and an understanding of the local culture is assured of increasing work. In Saudi Arabia, where I have been writing their event and festival strategy, they urgently need all kinds of event services. We all know events are important to development, so where do the mega economies – like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait- go to find these? The Event Show in the epicenter of the modern economy, the United Arab Emirates.”

“The arrival of the Middle East Event show in 2011 is not before time. Never before has there been a more opportune time to give this dynamic sector the focus it really needs. The Middle Eastern market is alive (and kicking) with ambition, energy and innovation and is undoubtedly fostering some truly outstanding industry talent. It’s about time everyone started taking this region a lot more seriously!”
