NEW for 2023 - Dubai World Trade Centre has introduced a stand submission fee for all space only stands as the Venue Infrastructure Team will now review and approve space only stands. This is in place to enhance health & safety and to mitigate the risks involved with space only stand construction. The fee is USD $140 and can be paid for via credit card or bank transfer.

You will be expected to produce a professionally built custom stand with a high level of finish and safety compliance and one that is in line with the high-quality, professional nature of the event

Permission to Build is only an authorisation to start building the stand - regular checks will be made on each stand to ensure the appropriate use of materials, structural integrity, etc. If our safety advisors are concerned about the above in any way, we reserve absolute right to terminate any stand construction.

Please refer to the exhibitor portal for full rules & regulations.
