Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) is set to build on the momentum it generated for the global events industry’s post-pandemic economic recovery with a robust calendar of conferences and exhibitions.
After successfully hosting global mega-events in 2021, DWTC is gearing up to host its wide-ranging line-up of international events.
“As Dubai continues to drive the resurgence of the global MICE sector, Dubai World Trade Centre has set an example for successfully hosting and organising large-scale international events. Throughout the course of 2021, DWTC proved to the world that major events could be responsibly hosted through effective collaboration with key stakeholders to deliver an environment that allows business to be conducted safely and effectively. We look forward to building on this success in Q1 and throughout 2022 as we reinforce Dubai’s position as a world-leading MICE destination,” said Mahir Abdulkarim Julfar, Executive Vice President, Venue Services Management, Dubai World Trade Centre.
The DWTC exhibition season will kick off with Intersec, the global emergency services, security and safety event, which will take place from 16th-18th January and will host a world-class accredited conference, with over 500 international and regional speakers.
From 24th-27th January, DWTC will play host to Arab Health, the largest gathering of healthcare and trade professionals in the MENA region. The 2022 edition of the event will welcome over 3500 exhibiting companies from 60 countries.
From 21st-23rd March, GISEC, the region’s most established networking and business platform for IT security, will gather information security and technology professionals, business leaders for three days of discovery, learning and networking with key government figures and top businesses from across the world. Officially supported by the UAE’s Cybersecurity Council, Dubai Electronic Security Center, Telecommunications & Digital Government Regulatory Authority and Dubai Police, GISEC welcomes more government decision-makers and solution buyers than any other tech security event in the region, and is the only show featuring 300+ government entities in one place.
“As DWTC’s line-up of international exhibitions and events, supported by the positive impact of Expo 2020 Dubai running until the end of March, leads the resurgence of the MICE industry, DWTC continues to be a key trade enabler and supports Dubai’s efforts to foster growth and innovation. Dubai will remain open for business and leisure whilst adhering to safe event protocols and guidelines, ensuring the safety of the public while delivering business continuity,” concluded Julfar.
Other events that DWTC is set to host this quarter include the UAE International Dental Conference & Arab Dental Exhibition (AEEDC Dubai); Gulfood; Dubai Pharmaceuticals and Technologies Conference and Exhibition (DUPHAT); Dubai Derma; Middle East Energy; Dubai International Humanitarian Aid & Development Conference & Exhibition (DIHAD); and World Art Dubai.
