   THE EXHIBITION

Gulf Glass 2011 gives you the perfect opportunity to:

The Gulf Glass Series in the UAE brings you, the exhibitor, other benefits aside from a highly receptive Emirates audience. Neighbouring states, too, seek rapid diversification and, in some cases, higher quality development than has hitherto been the case. In addition, rapid expansion across North and East Africa and in the wider Middle Eastern region means that glass consumption is rising rapidly.

Gulf Glass is the most respected glass exhibition series in the region and is the one show you can be sure that all those related to glass production and consumption put right at the top of their "Must Attend" list.

From refractories and raw materials to container, flat and float glass manufacturing and processing technology, Gulf Glass provides the perfect one-stop platform for all those concerned with the sector.

   FACTS AND FIGURES

We have ramped up our commitment to both PR and visitor promotion for this event. Media partners will not only report and promote, but will take an active role in Gulf Glass.

Some of these work predominantly through printed publications, but we concentrate at least equally on specialist portals, news feeds, web bulletins and, of course, glass event sites.

Our close ties with the industry mean that we ourselves have become a reference point for news and views and naturally this is a bonus for our exhibitors now, on a continuous basis, through to the show and beyond.

We�re pushing out the boundaries on everything we do.

On the industry front, we talk not just to mainstream glass interests but also to wider construction, architect, specifier and materials organisations and publications.

Naturally we target UAE information providers, but also their GCC counterparts and ever further out to the markets whose entrepreneurs must be interested in all that Gulf Glass has to offer and for whom the UAE is increasingly a key business destination.

Never relying on news, PR and advertising alone, we are DOUBLING the size of our e-mail database and TREBLING the amount of information we send to all these potential visitors between now and March. In these communiqu�s we are telling them more about the show, more about you and more about the area and how to get the best out of it.
