The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), has played one of the key role in the growth of international trade for the Middle East, ever since its inauguration in 1979. Initially through the landmark 39-storey Sheikh Rashid Tower and now as the region’s largest purpose-built complex for events and exhibitions. Its iconic presence has led to the building being featured on the 100 Dirham bank note.
With over 1.3 million square feet of covered exhibition and event space, comprising 21 halls and over 40 meeting rooms across 3 floors, Dubai World Trade Centre hosts over 500 events annually. In 2015 alone, the venue held 396 trade events, including 104 mega-events and welcomed over 2.74 million visitors. With nearly 41% international participation across its portfolio of events.
