Middle East Event Show (MEES) 2027

Premier B2B MICE expo for event professionals (17th edition)

Dates and venue

• Exhibition & Seminars: 1–2 June 2027
• Venue: Sheikh Rashid Hall, Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), UAE
• Awards (related evening): 3 June 2027 at Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai

These dates come from the official Informa Connect site hero for MEES 2027. The site’s schema.org markup still lists 18–20 August 2026 (a concluded edition relative to verification on 2026-09-29 Asia/Shanghai) and some body copy still says “MEES 2026”; the visible 2027 hero dates were preferred as the next future edition.
