The Big 5 is back and even bigger this year.
Despite the current crises in the world economy, the Middle East’s biggest construction exhibition has shown no signs of slowing down.
The show is held annually in Dubai and is considered the biggest and most important exhibition for the Middle East’s building and construction industry, attracting key regional and international decision makers.
The Big 5 is organised by DMG World Media Dubai, part of the DMG World Media Group of Companies.
All seven dedicated product sectors in The Big 5 are substantial events in their own right and cover building and construction, water technology and environment, air conditioning and refrigeration, cleaning and maintenance, glass and metal, bathrooms and ceramics, and marble and stone.
In addition, the Big 5 PMV – the specialist show for plant, heavy machinery and large vehicles will be adjacent to the Big 5.
Along with this, the Big 5 will also be promoting energy-efficient green building solutions and environmentally-friendly technologies at the technical conference, presented in conjunction with Ecospecifier International where industry experts will present practical project case studies, the best practice in green building compliance requirements, and the latest issues surrounding rating schemes such as Leed.
Another green focus is the Big 5 Gaia Awards showcasing environmentally-friendly products and services, the first of its kind in the region.
Products and services exhibited at this year’s Big 5 exhibition that reduce the impact on the environment are eligible for the awards and a judging panel, comprising senior individuals from local developers, contractors and government, has been assembled with the support of Ecospecifier International.
The awards will feature more than 30 products and services.
The Big 5 organisers are also collaborating with experts from the British Safety Council for a programme of health and safety training workshops.
