The event takes place in Dubai, UAE every year around early January to set the fiscal year for all exhibitors and visitors and runs for a grand total of four days. The Dubai Exhibition Centre welcomes visitors from 10:00 in the morning until 06:00 in the afternoon with an exception being the fourth day, where the closing time is set for 05:00 pm. The official organiser is the US-based Informa Life Sciences.
What sets WHX Dubai apart from other exhibitions in the medical industry as a whole has to do with the calibre of its support program. You can attend 11 CME conferences in total. Innovation is in the DNA of the show with the Innovation Hub More shining the spotlight on over 50 healthcare start-ups and SMEs. Not to mention how organisers embrace new technology, like through the popular 3D Printing Zone. It’s no wonder that major brands like Siemens and Philips make it a point to attend.
