Dubai Dubai

Taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre on April 23-25, the expo is considered by some within the industry to be second only to IAAPA in Florida as the most important international amusement event.

Now in its 19th year, DEAL represents the biggest platform for the industry to connect with buyers in the Middle East – arguably the biggest growth area anywhere in the world.

Among the 200-plus exhibitors are local giants Amusement Services International and Warehouse of Games, as well as international companies from Europe, Asia, South America and the US.
