Bahrain International Convention and Exhibition Centre The third instalment of the annual Health & Wellness Expo, organised by the Bahrain Exhibition and Conference Authority (BECA) takes place from April 16-18. Admission to the threeday show is free, and is open from 10am-7pm daily. “Our aim is to promote a holistic lifestyle that makes a positive contribution in our day-to-day living,” says BECA chief executive officer, Hassan Jaffar Mohamed. “By increasing awareness of the opportunities available to consumers, the Health & Wellness Expo seeks to encourage everyone to adopt a healthy life.” While pitched primarily at the consumer market and to residents not just in Bahrain but across the GCC, the exhibition will also host a series of business-to-business networking events for industry players. “Bahrain is home to a wide variety of businesses involved in the health services segment and we hope these sessions will serve as a platform to raise the profile of their brands and to develop new opportunities for revenue growth.” The healthcare industry in the Kingdom operates to some of the highest and most professional standards in the region; as such it provides an opportunity for consumers to widen their horizons and to see what options are available to them. Equally, by bringing together professionals from around the world within the health and wellness market, BECA will use the exhibition to promote Bahrain as regional hub for their businesses.
