For businesses from the industry, both locally and internationally, the exhibition represents an excellent opportunity to reach out and enhance the reputation of their brands. “The Expo is the country’s premier business-to-business networking opportunity for these professionals,” adds Hassan. “It also affords us, as the event organiser, a platform from which to promote the Kingdom as a regional hub for established and new players alike.” Participants will be able to exchange ideas and views about the latest consumer trends, marketing tools and the latest technologies to expand their businesses across the GCC.
