Abu Dhabi:
Reed Exhibitions Middle East has acquired six exhibitions in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Qatar, considerably strengthening its regional portfolio and reinforcing its long-term commitment to the UAE and the region. The shows were acquired from Abu Dhabi-based Trans Continental Fairs Management (TCFM), which has been in the local exhibition market since 1982.
With the acquisitions, Reed will organize the following additional exhibitions:
∙ Abu Dhabi International Motor Show (ADIMS), Abu Dhabi, UAE
∙ Abu Dhabi International Jewellery & Watch Show (ADIJEX), Abu Dhabi, UAE
∙ Middle East Aluminium Exhibition (ALUMEX), Dubai, UAE
∙ Middle East Pool Exhibition & Conference (ME Pool), Dubai, UAE
∙ Qatar Water and Electricity Technology Exhibition & Conference (QWETEX), Doha, Qatar
∙ Gulf Road Technology Exhibition & Conference (Roadteq), Doha, Qatar
These will add to Reed Exhibitions’ current portfolio of events in the UAE which include the well known Arabian Travel Market, GITBM the Gulf Incentive, Business Travel & Meetings Exhibition, the newly launched TDIM (Tourism Development Projects & Investment Market), ISNR (International Security & National Resilience), Building Futures Gulf by BATIMAT, as well as the ENVIRONMENT Exhibition & Conference. It will also bring Reed Exhibitions to Qatar where the economy is booming.
Frederic Theux, President of Reed Exhibitions Middle East, said: “These acquisitions reinforce our commitment to the exhibitions sector in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the region. Great synergies exist between the events we have acquired and our international portfolio and we will leverage our global experience and network to deliver added value to participants at these shows”.
Theux said that Reed Exhibitions Middle East will continue to expand its portfolio: "Reed is the world's leading organizer of exhibitions and conferences with an international portfolio of 460 events spanning more than 50 industry sectors. In the current phase of UAE's, and the region's, economic growth and diversification, and considering the emphasis in this part of the world on the MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions, exhibitions) sector, it is easy to see how Reed can play a major role in meeting the growing regional demand for trade and consumers shows," he said.
