Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre gears up for busy year of major international events in 2023

Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, part of ADNEC Group, is preparing to host major international exhibitions and conferences throughout 2023, welcoming visitors, exhibitors, and speakers from all over the world. Almost one third (33%) of these events will be taking place for the first time in Abu Dhabi and the Middle East, aligning with ADNEC Group’s efforts both to consolidate Abu Dhabi’s position as a capital for business tourism in the region, and to make a socio-economic impact, supporting the sustainable development of the tourism sector in Abu Dhabi.

The Centre’s schedule in 2023 includes several events that will be held simultaneously. This will be possible due to the opening of the Marina Hall, the biggest specialized waterfront exhibition hall in the MENA region at an area of 10,000 square meters.

Marina Hall has helped increase total indoor and outdoor exhibition space to over 153,000 square meters, enhancing the Centre’s ability to host multiple events at the same time, and confirming its position as the biggest exhibition and conference centre in the MENA region.

Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and CEO of ADNEC Group, said: “We at ADNEC Group are looking forward to another year full of diverse events, exhibitions and conferences, that enhance Abu Dhabi's position as a destination for business and leisure tourism in the region, and support the growth of this important sector in a way that achieves a positive return for the economy and society in Abu Dhabi and the UAE in general. A busy schedule also contributes to the consolidation of the Group’s standing and its vital and fundamental role in shaping the future of the business tourism sector and is in line with the aspirations of our wise leadership for the next fifty years, supporting the development of local industries and the nation’s talent and knowledge base. We continue to strengthen Abu Dhabi's position as an exceptional global destination by deploying modern facilities, advanced infrastructure, and high-quality services to host and organize all kinds of events that provide ideal platforms for event organizers, and bring together exhibitors, experts, decision-makers, and visitors from all over the world, allowing them to showcase the latest products and innovations in all sectors, as well as building a wide network of relationships between the most prominent institutions in the UAE and stakeholders around the world”.
