Middle East EVENT show or MEES is an annual exhibition[1] held at Dubai for Meetings, incentives, conferencing, exhibitions (MICE), events and entertainment industry.[2] Launched in 2011[3] the show provides the regional events industry[4] with a platform to promote their products and services event managers, marketers and other relevant personnel.[5][6]Previous events, Festivale and Event360, identified a need in the region for an exhibition that covered the whole of the local events industry, and so these were amalgamated to be one event in the Middle East EVENT Show.[7]
