1. Is it too late to book a stand for Dubai Derma (March 2026)?

It is very tight, but possible. You need a “Rapid Response” contractor like New Royal who manufactures in-house to bypass outsourcing delays. Contact us immediately.

2. I don’t see Gitex on this list?

While Gitex is a major event, we have highlighted the key specialized industry events listed above where focused B2B business is conducted. We do, however, service all major exhibitions. Check our full exhibition directory for more.

3. Can I reuse my stand from Middle East Energy for WETEX?

Yes. We design modular and reusable stands. We can dismantle your stand in April, store it in our warehouse, and refurbish it for the October season, saving you significantly on the second build.

Pricing varies by size and design complexity. Contact us directly for a transparent, itemized quote based on your specific venue and hall location.
