Following another successful edition of the DEAL show in Dubai in April, the organisers have confirmed that next year’s event will take place on April 8-10, 2014.
DEAL 2014 will once again be held at the Arena Hall within the Dubai World Trade Center and, with the 2013 edition of the event reported to have been nearly 20 per cent larger than the previous year, it is expected to be larger still.
Abdul Rahman Falaknaz, chairman of show organiser IEC, said there is “renewed energy” within the industry and that the Middle East region will soon see the “state-of-the-art” amusement and entertainment products that were showcased at the event earlier this year.
“We are also delighted to see that our exhibitors have signed multi-million dollar contracts during the show and we are sure that this will keep them busy until DEAL 2014.”
Exhibitors have already approached IEC to take larger space next year.
“That shows confidence in our show and the industry,” continued Falaknaz. “I would like to once again thank all our exhibitors and partners who have supported and trusted us throughout this journey.
“We grew organically and today it has become one of the largest platforms in the Middle East for the entertainment and leisure industry.”
