Automechanika Dubai Moves To December 2021
This move comes following regular contact with our stakeholders as the global automotive aftermarket community continues to navigate this unchartered territory. From the feedback we've received, Automechanika Dubai's move to December 2021 is welcomed by our customers, partners and trade associations, and allows industry professionals time to recharge their business plans for 2022.
The UAE's rigorous Covid-19 vaccination programme is well underway, and will lead to a safer in-person event environment at Automechanika Dubai 2021 and significantly higher physical participation. The UAE's Ministry of Health and Prevention said 27 percent of the country's population of 9.8 million has so far received a vaccine in what is one of the world's fastest vaccination programmes per capita.
The new winter dates also mean Automechanika Dubai 2021 will take place during the Expo 2020 Dubai, a global mega event that is expected to attract more than 25 million visitors, with the vast majority coming from outside of the UAE.
We're delighted to be planning a number of new exciting show features for later in the year, while all our other popular highlights will return. These will be communicated to you over the course of the next few months.
It will be a long time between innings since the last time we hosted Automechanika Dubai, and we're tremendously excited to bring the industry together again in a safe environment for three days under one roof at the Dubai World Trade Centre in December 2021.
Meanwhile, we encourage you to follow our social media channels, and stay up-to-date on the latest market insights in our ongoing Automechanika Dubai webinar series.
For now, stay safe and healthy, and we look forward to seeing you in December!
