Abu Dhabi, 28th January 2008
Eighty-three exhibitors from eleven countries will participate in the fourth edition of Abu Dhabi’s premier annual property show, IREIS (Abu Dhabi Real Estate and Investments Show). IREIS will be held 30th January to 2nd February, 2008 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre under the patronage of His Excellency Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council.
“We are pleased to present the largest-ever edition of IREIS. Exhibit space at this year’s edition has reached 10,000 square meters, an increase of 45 percent over the previous edition. The number of exhibitors has also increased from 52 at last year’s event to 83 this time”, said Antoine Georges, Director, Dome Exhibitions, while addressing a pre-show press conference for IREIS in Abu Dhabi today.
Georges also said that besides strong participation from the UAE, the show had also received support from international exhibitors from ten countries including Qatar, India, Kuwait, Spain, Germany, Cyprus, Malaysia, the US, the UK and Austria.
Georges noted that the show’s success is built on the IREIS’ positioning as a strong platform for investors, real estate players and the end-customer to meet, interact and conclude business.
Exhibitors at IREIS 2008 include master developers, property development companies, real estate agents and major financial institutions. Organizers expect the show to attract over 8000 visitors ranging from first time buyers to existing real estate investors, who are looking at expanding and diversifying their property investment portfolio.
