“It is clear that boom times are back for the Middle East’s glass industry” says Derek Burston, exhibition director, Gulf Glass 2013, “and it is this optimism, and level of planning, coinciding with our positioning of next year’s edition of the exhibition at the Dubai World Trade Centre, for the first time” he adds.

Next year’s exhibition, although not until September, already has reservations for over 1,100 sq metres of the available space.

“We do have the option for expansion” adds Burston “and this may be important, as the initial bookings received have all exceeded our projected average stand size by some margin” he concludes.
