News this week: This week, UFI announced the
relocation of its Middle East/Africa (MEA) regional office from Kuwait to its
new host venue, Expo Centre Sharjah,
in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
UFI‘s recent research indicates continued growth in the
Middle East exhibition industry which recorded a 14% increase in the number of
trade fairs organised and a 21% increase in available exhibition space since
2006 - despite difficult external economic circumstances.
Ibrahim Alkhaldi, UFI’s MEA regional manager, noted, “We
thank our previous hosts in Abu Dhabi and Kuwait for their gracious support
which enabled UFI to develop much needed programmes and services for the exhibition
industry in the region. The work of this UFI office has been much appreciated
and we are delighted that our members will benefit from uninterrupted service
in the years ahead.”
