Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions, Bahrain, have announced new dates for their 2011 flagship exhibitions, gulfBID - for the construction sector, and gulfINTERIORS - for the interiors, design and furniture sectors, which will run from April 26-28.
Both events, which run concurrently at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre in conjunction with the Green Building Forum, are traditionally held under the patronage of HRH Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa.
"The decision to bring our events forward into the last week of April as opposed to the traditional May timing has been arrived at after careful consideration and consultation with key exhibitors and other regional event organisers." said Jubran Abdulrahman, managing director, HCE.
"In line with the current phenomenal growth and investment into the northern GCC economy, our events this year enjoyed a 77 per cent increase in visitor numbers.
"We feel that moving our shows forward will achieve that and allow the best possible advantages overall to our loyal exhibitor base."
In 2010, visitors attended gulfBID and gulfINTERIORS from 29 countries, illustrating the global reach and appeal of the expos.Participants exhibited from 21 countries, recognising the huge potential of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the northern Gulf states currently undergoing rapid expansion.
