Now more than ever, the industry needs a platform from which to connect, and we are ready to allow our community the chance to finally meet in a controlled and safe environment, to showcase their innovations and successes from the past 24 months and to discuss how the market has evolved during the COVID-19 era. We are very much a visual and physical sector and also thrive in challenging conditions. As such, INDEX is perfectly timed to allow us to keep up with the fast-paced nature of the GCC’s rapid development goals. We are confident that all who visit us in 2021 will gain rich inspiration and leave furnished with new ideas, products and contacts.” INDEX 2021 will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre (Dubai, UAE), co-located with The Hotel Show, Workspace and The Leisure Show, offering increased value with access to all shows with a single entrance badge.
