The Coatings Group, organiser of the internationally renowned Middle East Coatings Show, has announced that the exhibition will now be held on September 27-29, 2021, at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The decision to postpone the event from June until September was reached because of ongoing travel restrictions in place across much of the world, which would prevent many of the show’s regular exhibitors and visitors from attending.
Paddy O’Neill, Event Director of the Coatings Group, said: "We are mindful that a significant number of our exhibitors and visitors travel to Dubai from overseas and at the moment, this isn’t straightforward or, in some instances, possible.
"Whilst Dubai is very much open for business and exhibitions have restarted successfully, we want to ensure that our exhibitors are fully confident in their participation with us.We believe the decision to further postpone the show to the end of September hopefully gives everyone this assurance and, indeed, may come as a relief for some with concerns and reservations regarding making travel arrangements for June.”
The Middle East Coatings Showis the largest dedicated coatings event in the important Middle East and gulf region, regularly attracting a mix of exhibitors and visitors from more than 80 countries. The opportunity to meet with such a global mix of customers is one of the most important benefits of the event and is one that the organiser is keen to preserve: "We feel it is necessary to reschedule the Middle East Coatings Show to September this year to maximize the participation and potential of the event,” continued Paddy.
In light of ongoing COVID restrictions and the new dates for the Middle East Coatings Show, it has also been decided that Coatings for Africa, due to be held in Johannesburg in June and Asia Pacific Coatings Show, due to be held in Jakarta in September, will now be postponed until 2022. More information on this will be available shortly.
