GES expands its Middle East presence with new Qatar division

09 October 2024

GES has launched a new division in Qatar aimed at expanding its capacity to deliver localised, in-region support for its clients. Organisers in the area will be able to benefit from faster, high quality and a more personalised service for their events and exhibitions, with a range of GES services on offer including its event management platform, Visit.

GES has had a presence in the Middle East for some time and has been a trusted partner within the UAE exhibitions market for more than 15 years. The Qatar launch forms part of the business’ continued growth in the region, having most recently opened an office in Saudi Arabia in 2021.

"We're excited to bring our expertise to Qatar at a time of huge growth across the events industry in the region. With our strong presence already established in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, this new location allows us to be more agile and responsive to our clients' requirements across the region, and continue to deliver high quality and reliable services with the local knowledge to drive industry success." Donna Hyland, General Manager, GES Middle East

Over the past 12 months, GES has successfully delivered a number of major projects in the region, including COP28, Dubai Airshow, Arab Health, ADIPEC, and several notable exhibitions in Saudi Arabia, such as Big5 Construct, Seamless, and Intersec.

Qatar has undoubtedly positioned itself as a destination for high profile global events, delivering on the global stage with events such as the World Cup in 2022. Similarly the region’s facilities continue to evolve with Doha Exhibition and Convention Center, Qatar National Convention Centre and Aspire Zone all offering versatile venues for events. The demand for major exhibitions, conferences, and events continues to rise in the region, and GES feels it is perfectly positions to contribute to this growth.
