We connect people, products and ideas from around the globe through our year-round calendar of international trade fairs, blockbuster consumer shows and prestigious international conferences, which are complemented by our innovative free zone and award-winning real estate developments. As the region’s leading purpose-built complex for events and exhibitions, we provide a platform for unparalleled business and networking opportunities.
Each year, through our various events, we create tens of thousands of jobs for a variety of industries and sectors. We continue to be driven by our ongoing role in helping to shape Dubai’s future and reinforce its position as a global hub for the future economy.
To make Dubai the world’s leading destination for all major exhibitions, conferences, and events.
Our mission is to deliver ‘Destination Dubai’ for the region by providing a world-class business networking platform with integrated end-to-end services. We do this by continually innovating and creating an unparalleled calendar of events, providing state-of-the-art real estate solutions within a sophisticated and dynamic business environment, and inspiring our employees with progressive and rewarding career opportunities.
Dubai World Trade Centre offers a venue for every event. From conferences and trade exhibitions, to concerts and galas, our scope and scale are unlimited. We also provide the infrastructure our organisers and exhibitors need to be successful, including event service teams who deliver comprehensive support.
As a preferred caterer to private, corporate, government and royal clients, our portfolio of premium hospitality services has grown in tandem with the city's diverse event calendar. Hospitality and Weddings by Dubai World Trade Centre are additional key offerings, along with Event Plus, our dedicated online e-commerce platform and services targeted at exhibitors.
We handle the key facilities management services for all properties we own or manage, including all engineering and maintenance, infrastructure operations, traffic and security management, emergency medical services and cleaning and waste management.
Every year our Event Management Team puts on an impressive portfolio of shows, ranging from niche trade events to mass-market consumer expos across a range of sectors spanning Technology, Food and Hospitality, Marine, Lifestyle, and others.
Currently, we own and organise 25 of the region’s largest exhibitions, and our team is continually developing new ideas for all our B2B, and B2C shows in line with global trends.
Our in-house experiential agency ‘DXB Live’ was established to serve our event better and exhibit clients. Each year, ‘DXB Live’ services to over 100 significant events and partners. Through our integrated services, we bring to life more than 500,000 square feet of exhibition stands, live events, and conferences, alongside providing complex solutions.
Our latest projects add new dimensions to both our legacy Dubai World Trade Centre location and Expo City Dubai, enhancing the emirate’s ongoing expansion as an international hub of trade, tourism, and commerce.
Our developments include the groundbreaking and award-winning One Central, a premium commercial development that has delivered over 158,000 square metres of new Grade A leasable office space in the heart of Dubai. Following the opening of the region's first-ever trend-setting 25H hotel in 2022 and a growing collection of restaurants and eateries opening up, One Central continues to elevate Dubai's central business district to a new level.
Developed and managed by the Dubai World Trade Centre, the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) was built for the global mega-event Expo 2020 Dubai and continues to be a venue of choice for hosting significant national and international events.
Expo Village was initially developed by the Dubai World Trade Centre ahead of the Expo 2020 Dubai. Following the reopening of Expo City Dubai in October 2022, Expo Village today is home to an active residential community.
