Dubai to Host MEED Real Estate Trade Show

MEED's second Middle East Real Estate conference, a two-day event, will be held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Dubai on February 1 and 2, 2005.

The event is being held alongside the Dubai Property Investment Show, which together with the conference form key elements of the International Property Week Dubai 2005, Bahrain Financial Harbour, the Pearl project in Qatar and The Wave in Oman. Saeed al-Muntafiq, Director General, Dubai Development & Investment Authority (DDIA) will set the scene for the conference in a keynote address which will assess the real estate development environment in Dubai. The DDIA is the executive arm of the Dubai government responsible for developing an integrated strategy for the emirate.

Guy Guillemard, marketing director, Domus Group, organisers of Dubai Property Investment Show, said: “Our aim in partnering with a conference specialist like MEED was to give trade visitors an in depth trade show experience, by offering multiple platforms to explore the property market. It also gives international visitors who travel to Dubai specifically for the exhibition a better opportunity to analyse the market fully, meet with key players and thus, make well-informed decisions.”
