Dubai industrial trade fairs postponed

Dubai, December 22, 2009

Deutsche Messe, a leading organiser of trade fairs and exhibitions in Germany, said it is  postponing three top industrial trade fairs in the Middle East region untill 2011.

The trade shows - CeMAT Middle East, Industrial Automation (IA) Middle East and Motion, Drive & Automation (MDA) Middle East - were originally scheduled to take place at Dubai World Trade Center in February 2010, said a Deutsche Messe statement.

Due to scheduling changes and a resulting overlap of topics, the Dubai World Trade Center is no longer able to accommodate the trade fairs at the originally planned time and location, the company said in a statement.

“In the eyes of Deutsche Messe, the United Arab Emirates, and particularly Dubai, continue to represent a key exhibition location in the medium and long term. After careful analysis, we have decided to postpone the debut of these tradeshows until 2011," said Dr Andreas Gruchow, member of the managing board of Deutsche Messe.

"There are topic overlaps at the exhibition venue which now make it impossible to stage our exhibitions within the original framework," explained Dr Gruchow.

"We require the premium exhibition facility for our events in order to fulfill the needs of our customers and our preferred venue to hold this trade show would be The Dubai World Trade Centre,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
