Why
ADNEC

At ADNEC, we put events at the core of what we do. We have been in the business of events since our inception in 2005 and here are just some of the reasons why we are the leading event destination in the Middle East.

Proudly located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, named the safest city in the world from 2017 to 2022, ADNEC is one of the most accessible and sought-after venues in the world. ADNEC is just 15 minutes away from the rapidly expanding Abu Dhabi International Airport which serves over 50 airlines and 100 destinations in 46 countries around the globe. It is only 20 minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi and 90 minutes from Dubai International Airport. Abu Dhabi is not only a gateway to the Middle East but to the entire MENA region.

“ADNEC’s state of the art venue and professional team supported us to achieve our goals for the inaugural edition of EuroTier Middle East 2019 – from execution with regards logistic and operations to marketing and promotion. We were impressed with the high quality of content produced for our show, we have used the same on our communication channels as well.”

They were not only able to project manage a complex event but also to ensure that all stakeholders expectations were met throughout the process. The ADNEC Services is one of the very best event teams that UN-Habitat had the pleasure to work with over the years and we look forward to the next opportunity to work together again”
