This is a selected visitor shortlist, checked on 12 October 2026. The dates below are organiser announcements; recheck the current edition and admission conditions before making a non-refundable booking.
Three upcoming options to compare
| Event and professional focus | Announced 2026 dates | Announced location | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADIPEC — energy | 2–5 November | ADNEC, Abu Dhabi | Exhibition access versus conference access and the programme relevant to your role. |
| Big 5 Global — construction | 23–26 November | Dubai World Trade Centre | Product sectors, associated shows and the admission conditions for your ticket. |
| GITEX GLOBAL — technology | Summit: 7 December; expo: 8–11 December | Expo City Dubai | The relevant programme, ticket coverage and travel to the current location. |
These dates and locations come from the events' official websites. In particular, GITEX's official About page announces a new home at Expo City Dubai for 2026. Plan GITEX travel to the new site rather than to the Dubai World Trade Centre address used by earlier editions.
Keep other familiar brands in the right edition
- Gulfood: its official site reports the 2026 edition in its January news and now promotes the next edition. If it fits your sector, plan for that edition instead.
- Healthcare: the official Dubai healthcare event site now presents World Health Expo (formerly Arab Health) and its 2027 programme. Use the current name and edition when searching or registering.
- Dubai Airshow: the official site announces its return on 15–19 November 2027 at the DWC Dubai Airshow Site. Add it to your 2027 planning calendar.
Choose by the work you need to do
For supplier sourcing, match the official exhibitor directory to your product specification and make a meeting list. For learning, read session topics and check whether conference access is included. For business development, define the companies and decision-making roles you want to meet. Compare the options by those tasks.
Plan the visit around the actual venue
- Confirm the event name, year, exact venue, entrance and programme day on the official website.
- Read the registration terms and access scope before paying; check any age or professional eligibility conditions.
- Compare accommodation and transport options using the confirmed venue, then build in time for registration and transfers.
- Group meetings by hall or programme area and leave space for follow-up notes.
- Recheck organiser updates shortly before departure and retain the booking and cancellation terms.
