dmg events

dmg events is an international exhibitions and publishing company with events across more than 25 countries in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia. Headquartered in Dubai since 1989, we have expanded our operations from this global hub city to Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Canada, South Africa, Egypt and the UK, achieving impressive growth in emerging and mature markets. We have acquired success through a combination of strategic moves such as geo-adapting our flagship events, acquiring complementary businesses and by adapting our core brands to work in different industries. Our company's portfolio of products includes leading exhibition brands within these sectors such as ADIPEC, The Big 5 construction events, Gastech, The Hotel Show and INDEX, as well as a collection of leading business publications. With global exhibitions at the heart of what we do, our 300-plus strong team has nurtured professional communities for industries as diverse as construction, energy, coatings, transport, hospitality & design. We support these communities through a combination of high-impact conferences, certified workshops, technical seminars and industry publications. We have been immensely successful in our industry and attract more than 350,000 visitors to our portfolio of 80-plus exhibitions every year. Through all of this work our aim is simple. We want to accelerate business through face-to-face events, which is why we work so hard to bring people together, creating opportunities for them to network, learn and do business. dmg events is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Daily Mail and General Trust plc (DMGT) an international portfolio of information, media and events businesses listed on the London stock exchange.
