Unite Middle East

Monday 2nd September 2024

Unite Middle East was created in 2016 after interest was received from both Middle Eastern suppliers and buyers to have an additional event later in the year, but avoiding ATM and WTM. September was the chosen month and it proved to be perfect timing on both sides for re-connecting and pushing sales for the last quarter. This has since become another permanent annual event.

The 2023 took place at Leonardo Royal Hotel London City.

I would like to sincerely thank you and I would like to congratulate you for arranging this amazing event. It was well organized and it has been a very fruitful event for us. I’ve been to several exhibitions, this has been by far most efficient. To name a few; Flow of the event was perfectly organized where buyers do not have to worry in finding the location of exhibitor; Buyers are well handpicked which is exactly what we as a hotel would like to meet; Event cost was very reasonable.
