Step into Dubai's busy business events scene with Gateway Group's essential guide for the conferences and exhibitions taking place during 2024. Don't forget to save this page for easy access and revisit frequently, as we'll be continuously refreshing the guide with the latest events as they are unveiled throughout the year.
For your ease, the UAE school holidays have been integrated into this calendar of events, easily identifiable with a distinctive pink hue.
You'll find the UAE Cabinet-approved public holidays for 2024 conveniently highlighted in purple throughout the guide. Keep in mind that the dates for Islamic holidays are indicative, as they depend on the moon sighting. The confirmed dates are typically announced by the UAE government and news agencies a few days before the actual Islamic holiday.
Aligning your business trips and activities with conferences and events can be a game-changer if you're looking to kick-start a new venture or expand an existing business. They are an ideal way to obtain valuable insights into the market, trends, and opportunities, as well as make useful networking connections.
We've also created an Abu Dhabi Events Guide for 2024 so you can see what conferences and exhibitions are happening in the UAE's capital this year. Remember, Abu Dhabi is just an hour and a half driver from Dubai.
DWTC is abbreviated from Dubai World Trade Center which is a purpose-built complex for events and exhibitions in Dubai.
