GM’s Message

Exhibition World Bahrain, the award-winning World’s Leading New Exhibition and Convention Centre 2023, has positioned itself as the Middle East’s preferred place to meet, convene and do business at the heart of the Gulf, bolstering the Kingdom of Bahrain’s stance as a world-leading destination for all major exhibitions, conferences, and events, with this state-of-the-art venue offering world-class services and facilities.
