Dubai, UAE – The Experiential Planner Expo (EPEX) is set to take place in Dubai this year, bringing together key players in the events and wedding industry from around the world. The event, which will be held at the Grand Hyatt, Dubai from 18-19 September, will provide an opportunity for international and local event planners and experts to share insights and meet global venues, destinations, caterers and event suppliers.
EPEX, the only relevant and definitive MICE and Destination Wedding platform in the Middle East, is expected to attract over 300 event planners and travel experts from the Middle East, India, Europe, South Africa, CIS and Turkey. The event will feature B2B meetings, leadership sessions from industry leaders, panel discussions, and networking opportunities over the 2 days.
In a special debut, EPEX will unveil an open vote recognition platform “EPTop50” – Powered by Hyatt Group, to celebrate the top 50 Destination Management Companies of the Middle East with nominations from Hospitality and Tourism brands, driving much of the business in the region. The initiative will continue to amplify the narrative of the region as a truly world-class and diverse destination for business events.
Dubai, one of the world’s leading tourist destinations, is an ideal location for the event with dozens of local hotels, venues, caterers and event suppliers across the city participating including Expo City, Emaar Hospitality, The Hilton Group, Rove Hotels and many more coming on-board as prominent Partners. The city is known for its luxurious hotels, world-class infrastructure, and rich cultural heritage. It is also a hub for various kinds of events, with strategic air connections from destinations around the world, making it the ideal destination to host EPEX.
The B2B event in its 9th year is being organized in partnership with Dubai Business Events, the city’s official convention bureau and part of the Department of Economy and Tourism, to establish Dubai as a premier business event destination.
