Soaring demand across the Middle East continues to strengthen the importance of The Big 5 exhibition to the regional construction industry, and this year’s show at Dubai International Exhibition Centre from 25-29 November will be the largest ever showcase of the latest products and services for the building and construction industries, including air conditioning and refrigeration, water technology and the environment, marble, stone and ceramics. The exhibition will also feature a broad programme of free industry seminars.

“We’re looking forward to highly successful shows this year”, said Bernard Walsh, Managing Director of dmg world media Dubai, organisers of The Big 5. “This region has become the world’s largest market for plant, construction vehicles, machinery and equipment. Having recognised this, we decided that a dedicated exhibition for this sector of the market was essential, hence the creation of The Big 5 PMV exhibition. The combination of both exhibitions delivers total coverage of all aspects of the construction industry”, added Walsh. “The continued expansion of The Big 5 and the creation of The Big 5 PMV clearly demonstrates our commitment to look at additions and enhancements that will achieve this”, he concluded.

Running on the same dates as The Big 5, and linked via a free shuttle bus service, The Big 5 PMV will be staged at Airport Expo Dubai. According to the organizers press release, as part of the Middle East’s most influential construction and contracting event, it will provide the ideal platform for plant, machinery, construction vehicles and equipment suppliers to meet face to face with key buyers from across the region and overseas.
