H.H. Sheikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum opens InRetail and the Office Exhibition 2007
H.H. Sheikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation and Chairman of the Emirates Group today opened two of the Middle East’s most anticipated annual events, InRetail and The Office Exhibition – both running from 3rd to 5th June at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre. His Excellency toured the stands with interest, as he witnessed the most cutting edge breakthroughs in office design and retail technology, both key drivers of the economic growth in the region.
InRetail brings together the leading professionals from every segment of the retail industry, from retail interior design, shopfitting and merchandising, to the most recent state-of-the-art in-store technologies, and the latest developments in customer relationship management, marketing and logistics.
The Office Exhibition also, offers a comprehensive range of office systems, including high-end furnishings, interior design, storage systems as well as lighting and turnkey services.
Both shows are also running their renowned programme of seminars throughout their three-day duration, where the leading specialists will talk about the latest industry trends and developments.
"We’ve been running the Office Exhibition for six years now and InRetail for two years. It’s always great to welcome back lots of familiar faces, plus many new exhibitors," says Paula Al Chami, organiser of the exhibitions. "What’s always fascinating is to see the leaps and bounds in design and technology from one year to the next."
And as we’ve come to expect, the lucrative markets of the Middle East are of primary interest to the international business community.
"These industries have so much to offer, and the world’s top designers and brands have long since recognised the incredible potential in this market," continues Paula. "This year we’re bursting at the seams with product launches and the introduction of new systems. And just like all previous years, we’re expecting to break visitor records over the next three days."
InRetail is in Hall 8 of the exhibition centre, and the Office Exhibition is in Zabeel Hall and Hall 1. Exhibition timings are from 11am to 7pm daily. Visitors will also have access to the Hotel Show in Halls 1 to 7.
