FOCUS ON KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATIONThe Big 5 2013 was the largest construction exhibition ever to take place in the Middle East. The event attracted 74,382 audited participants, a 23% increase on 2012, reflecting the renewed confidence in construction across the region.
In 2013 we focussed firmly on introducing more technical and educational content to draw more visitors and ensure they spend more time at the event, with the aim of delivering the best possible return on investment for our exhibitors and sponsors.
Never in The Big 5’s illustrious 34 year history have participants been able to access so many high quality educational events for free. This post show report outlines some of the workshops, seminars, conferences and live demonstrations which took place during The Big 5. It also provides the essential information you need to make an informed decision about participating in the future.
In 2014 you can expect to see even more investment in free-to-attend, high quality seminars, conferences and workshops. And why do we do this? Well it’s simple really: if we can attract more buyers by providing an event that inspires, informs and entertains, we know our exhibitors and sponsors will have a great opportunity to meet thousands of potential customers, get a great return on their investment and return the following year.
We look forward to seeing you from 17 – 20 November 2014.
