Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2010 and therefore ’A New Decade of Design’, INDEX is the definitive interiors and design event for the Middle East.

INDEX 2009 delivered 25,456 key trade buyers from over 100 countries that came to keep up to date with new products, innovations, market trends and specify for specific projects. Over 1,500 international exhibitors and thousands of top international brands will be present at an event that will inspire both exhibitors and visitors alike with an astounding array of fabulous innovative products and services on offer.
INDEX is more than an exhibition! The event is the centre stage for the design community and features the latest worldwide trends, futuristic design, sustainable initiatives and exciting design collaborations. 

INDEX’s 20th anniversary show will be a truly iconic celebration of design incorporating design competitions, industry leading conferences, workshops, live installations and interactive features, together forming a unique platform for the entire design industry.

Where the retail world comes to shop!

InRetail is the only dedicated exhibition for the Middle East’s retail industry.  With the region’s ever growing number of new malls, outlets and ongoing refurbishment projects, InRetail is where buyers source everything they need to create the perfect outlet and to maximize their sales potential.  The event is the region’s one stop shop for these key buyers and will provide an inspirational array of innovative retail products and solutions. 

InRetail is co-located with INDEX, the region’s leading interior design show.  With both events running side by side, key buyers working on both interior and retail projects  are able to visit just one event catering for all their design needs. 

The total oil & gas show

What makes ADIPEC different from other oil and gas exhibitions is the quality, content and global representation; the highest participation of IOC’s, NOC’s and National Pavilions compared to any other industry event. ADIPEC 2010 will play host to over 45,000 industry executives from around the world and with over 1500 companies from 89 countries altogether making it the total oil and gas show.

A key factor to the growth of ADIPEC is location, a gateway between east and west. Of the 1,050 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves, the region accounts for about 31 percent of total world production, and about 50 percent of exports. The energy sector is estimated to spend US$ 800 billion in the region in the coming decade. Abu Dhabi holds 98.2 billion barrels and almost 5.8 trillion cubic metres of the world’s natural gas

The ADIPEC Conference held over four days from 1 - 4 November 2010, will function as a meeting place to discuss and debate the latest and most innovative technological solutions available in the oil and gas industry. The theme for this year’s conference "Delivering Energy in the Low Carbon Era: Challenges and Opportunities" will focus on the key issues for the future of the industry. Over 250 industry leaders will join together in presenting a comprehensive programme of technical and panel sessions at the conference.

Other features at ADIPEC 2010 will include:
• CEO Summit (31 Oct & 1 Nov)
• ADIPEC Art Fair (1 – 4 Nov)
• ADIPEC Awards: Excellence in Energy 2010
• ADIPEC Graduate Fair (1 – 4 Nov 2010)
