Good Morning
Events season is upon us!
In the last few weeks we’ve seen ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi (for the energy sector) and GITEX and Northstar in Dubai (Tech) which herald the start of a very busy period through to spring next year with multiple major international trade shows, events and conferences happening here.
These remain a great way for new and potential exporters to gauge the market and get a feel for their prospects; for existing traders reconnect with old friends and partners and bring new offerings to the region; and for anyone already established here to refresh and remind the market about their presence.
This month we bring you an overview of the main shows in the calendar, some tips on trade show preparation, some guidance on the do’s & don’t and how to follow up post-trade show.
And finally, for those who are concerned about the travel and safety situation in the region at the moment, we would always refer you to the official UK Government guidance from the FCDO: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice
