UAE - DMG World Media has taken over the management of the Dubai-based facilities management show, FM Expo, which will be co-located with The Hotel Show from 18 to 20 May 2010 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Previously organised by the Streamline Marketing Group, DMG will place increased focus on the event’s conference programme this year.
“The FM sector in the Middle East is set to grow at an exponential rate, fuelled by the increasing lifecycle cost of ageing buildings and the construction sector’s growth,” says DMG product development director, David Wilson.
“Therefore we have to position the FM Expo as an event that best supports the industry’s development and provides a platform for thoughtful leadership.”
Industry notables brought in to speak at the attached conference event include MEFMA board member and associate director of Waterman International, Stephen Barker, and senior director of operations at the Burj Khalifa, Ali Al Suwaidi. Companies to be showcased during the conference include Shell, Nakheel, Schneider Electric, Cityspace, Modus, Techem, MAF, Farnek Averial and Frost & Sullivan.
