These numbers just provide concrete evidence to show that there has been a phenomenal growth in the events industry UAE, especially in the vibrant city of Dubai.

Emerging as a strong contributor to the burgeoning events market is QnA International, an organization that hosts and produces industry specific events and trainings and is recognized across the globe for its boutique B2B conferences, summits, trainings and forums. Pioneers in the areas of Travel and Tourism, HR, Finance, Technology, Destination Weddings, the organization attributes its success to its impeccable quality of events, personalization while delivering unique and premium concepts, as well as its keen focus on developing lasting partnerships with its clients and supporters.

As more and more credible organizations from diverse industries are realizing and benefitting from bespoke events organized by event management companies, there has been a heavy focus on determining the ROI of events, as this will eventually prove to be beneficial for greater maturity of the industry both within the UAE and internationally.

Sidh added, “We are excited about expanding the events management business in the UAE and the region.

The strong growth of the event management industry in the region can be attributed to the UAE’s firm position as an events and exhibitions hub for the Middle East region. The growing trend among private and public enterprises to host occasion-based events for their internal and external stakeholders as well as the need for dedicated platforms to increase regional business, international collaboration and knowledge sharing,  has driven this growth.
