Middle East Exclusive 2009 boosts business opportunities with new dates and a new feel – 17/02/09

UAE. Channels Exhibitions, host and organiser of Middle East Exclusive 2009, is urging interested brands and suppliers to leverage the event’s new spring dates for entry into the thriving Middle East market.

Middle East Exclusive (MEE) is dedicated to the luxury goods and travel retail sectors. This year’s exhibition will be held from 10-12 March at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

The new spring dates make it the first duty free and luxury goods show of the year, giving exhibitors the opportunity to launch new products in the market and show buyers the latest products, the organisers said.

“MEE’s timing also means that most duty free operators and high-end retailers will have planned the following year’s budget – giving exhibitors the opportunity to sell more to existing clients – and win new customers,” Channels added.

MEE 2009 has already witnessed “record rebookings” from leading brands and suppliers, with spaces at the show being “extremely limited”, the company said.

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation – and with the ongoing support of Dubai Duty Free and the Middle East Duty Free Association – the exhibition will showcase over 600 of the world’s leading luxury and premium brands.
