It’s been a roller coaster ride for the first six months of 2017 at our subsidiary; back to back shows, ups and downs, lasting memories and more new milestones have underlined what has been a very eventful and successful half of the year. With the Eid holidays now upon us, and the 2016-2017 event season officially over, it’s the perfect time to reflect back on our busiest six month period yet, packaged neatly into eight world -class exhibitions and seven conferences. One of the many highlights was the launch of Intersec Saudi Arabia in May, our third event in the Kingdom which even by its own lofty standards, exceeded all expectations. For the first time ever, visitor numbers to our ‘big three’, Intersec, Automechanika Dubai, and Beautyworld Middle East, surpassed the 100,000 mark, emphasizing their global reach. In total, our eight exhibitions in H1 2017 featured 5,720 exhibitors from 57 countries spanning 111,095sqm net of exhibition space, three per cent more than the same period in 2016 in both net space covered and exhibitor numbers. Together, they also drew in 123,135 visitors from 135 countries, a steady seven per cent increase compared to the H1 of last year.

This consistency is only possible thanks to each and every one of you. Your hard work and dedication to overcome the various challenges that have presented themselves has certainly paid off, and we’re very grateful to work with such a talented group of people. Looking forward, the MFME team continues to grow, and we’re excited to add the 24th floor of the H Office Tower to our ever-expanding office space during the second half of the year. Improvements to the management structure will ensure we as an organisation continue to navigate our future expansion plans in a seamless manner, while at the same time provide you with the right tools and resources to do what you do best.
