Your Well-Being Comes First

The health and safety of our colleagues, partners and audiences remains our number one priority. Our Global ‘Safety Shows’ Health and Safety strategy aims to reduce the assessed risks by complementing and building on those community and other industry safeguards already deployed outside of the trade exhibition and event setting. This strategy demonstrates to all our partners and visitors that we are able to run safe and compliant shows in the countries where we are permitted. In the UAE, we strictly adhere to all the rules and regulations laid out by the Government authorities, including the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism DCT, and in collaboration with ADNEC.
