We organise exhibition participation in Dubai and across the UAE, from booking exhibition space and building your stand to flights, accommodation and on-site team support. Add exhibition staff, branded merchandise, photography, video and equipment. Airport transfers, security and private pre- or post-show programmes can form part of your brief.

Dates, guest numbers, staff hours, production quantities and privacy requirements inform the proposal.

    Questions before ordering your stand

    What can your turnkey exhibition service include?

    We can coordinate exhibition space and your stand, flights and hotels, promoters and exhibition hosts, branded merchandise and print, photography and video, equipment, transfers and security. Private meetings, yacht dinners and pre- or post-show programmes can be added to your brief. You choose the services, and we agree the scope and costs in the proposal.

    Can you build a stand from our existing design?

    Yes. Send us your visualisations, dimensions, drawings and the organiser’s requirements. We will review the design and estimate production and installation.

    Do you work with European companies and Russian-speaking teams?

    Yes. We help companies prepare for exhibitions in the UAE. We discuss the working language, approval materials and coordination with your on-site team when planning the project.

    Can I order just furniture, multimedia or graphics?

    Yes. We can discuss individual items such as display cases, branding, furniture, lighting, screens and specialist support. We confirm availability and terms for your dates and venue.

    How far in advance should I get in touch?

    It is best to start once you have chosen the exhibition and stand space. The lead time depends on the construction and organiser’s rules. For urgent projects, we first check the build-up windows and production availability.

    What happens after I request a quote?

    We clarify your brief, check the venue requirements and prepare a proposal. You can review the layout, scope and estimate before agreeing to the next stage.

    How do you select exhibition staff?

    We start with your brief: stand roles, working languages, product knowledge, communication skills, presentation and dress code. We source promoters, exhibition hosts, hostesses and models, then agree candidates, briefing, schedules and on-site coordination.

    Can you arrange a private dinner or VIP programme?

    Yes. We source yachts, private dining rooms and secluded venues to suit your guests and meeting format. The programme can include transfers, a personal escort and security. Venue availability, filming arrangements and confidentiality requirements are agreed for your dates.
