Fespa’s decision to host this event in 2025 follows the positive response to the launch of the inaugural Fespa Middle East 2024, which took place at the Dubai Exhibition Centre on 29-31 January 2024. The event featured a line up of 150 brands and a comprehensive feature programme.

Bazil Cassim, Fespa regional manager, Middle East and Africa, said, “The exhibitor and visitor feedback to the launch of Fespa Middle East has been overwhelmingly positive and reaffirms our decision to expand our offering into the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia region. In response to this, we’re delighted to be returning to the Dubai Exhibition Centre for a second edition in 2025 and look forward to offering a platform that builds on the success and our learnings from the 2024 event. In the meantime, we will continue supporting our growing community in this region through our Fespa direct membership.”
