GITEX GLOBAL 2026 at a glance

Who visits GITEX GLOBAL

CIOs and IT decision-makers from enterprises, telecom operators and banks, government delegations driving digital-transformation programmes, investors, and startup founders. Visitors come to see working products, so the stands that draw crowds are the ones built around live demos rather than posters.

Stand design tips for GITEX

• Build around demos. Plan demo pods with screens at eye level, enough power and data points, and space for a small crowd without blocking the aisle.

• Book network and power early. Internet, extra power and rigging for LED walls are ordered through the organiser and get expensive or unavailable close to the show.

• Add a closed meeting room. Enterprise and government deals need a quiet space; a lockable room also keeps laptops and demo kit safe overnight.

• Plan for a new venue. 2026 is GITEX's first year at Expo City Dubai, so hall rules, build-up access and logistics differ from the DWTC years — confirm them with the organiser's manual.

Planning timeline

• 12–14 weeks before: confirm space and brief, start design

• 8–10 weeks before: final design, submit drawings, method statements and service orders

• 4 weeks before: fabrication, AV and graphics

• Build-up days: on-site installation and testing of AV before opening; dismantling after the show
