Middle East Special Event & Exhibition Show

The Middle East Special Event Show (MEES) & Awards, is an annual exhibition held in Dubai UAE for Meetings, incentives, conferencing, exhibitions (MICE), events and entertainment industry. Launched in 2011 the show provides the regional events industry[1] with a platform to promote their products and services event managers, marketers and other relevant personnel.[2] Previous events, Festivale and Event360, identified a need in the region for an exhibition that covered the whole of the local events industry, and so these were amalgamated to be one event in the Middle East Event Show. In 2018 the event will be re-branded to The Middle East Special Event & Exhibition Show, to be organised under the wings of The Special Event show in the USA.
