The Office Exhibition opens
Dubai, February 9, 2010
The Office Exhibition opened today in Dubai with over 250 companies and brands from around the globe showcasing everything from office furniture to the latest office technology.
The only exhibition of its kind in the Middle East, The Office Exhibition is occupying a space of over 15,000 sqm. Split into four main sectors (technology, interiors, furniture and consultancy), the show features exhibitors from 25 countries, including USA, Italy, Spain, UK and Germany. They will be showcasing everything from high-end office chairs to storage wall systems, as well as acoustics products and the latest IT solutions.
New for 2010, The Office Awards provides an additional avenue for exhibitors to highlight their innovative products and designs, covering a number of categories including seating, files and storage, and tables.
The awards were presented to the winners today by Bernard Walsh, managing director of dmg world media, the organisers of the expo.
Another debut feature for this year’s show is The Future Office, which is a design collaboration between some of the leading companies in the region. It will provide a visionary look at the shape of the office in years to come, and will consider a work environment that optimises employee health, safety, motivation and productivity (otherwise known as the science of ergonomics).
This year’s show will also feature Office Talks, which will address some of the most important issues surrounding the commercial sector, such as sustainability, coping with tough market conditions and ergonomics.
Speakers include Siddarth Peters, managing director of The Total Office, Nick Burnett, design director of Cityspace and Philp K. Mathew, syndicated research manager at Ventures Middle East, who will be discussing commercial sector development within the GCC.
“The Office Exhibition 2010 will truly be a one stop shop, bringing together key players from the commercial office design sector, in addition to leading technology companies,' said Sinead Bridgett, show director, The Office Exhibition.-TradeArabia News Service
