Arab Health, now part of WHX Dubai, is the region’s largest healthcare trade show and one of the busiest build-ups of the year. Healthcare stands have requirements that general show advice misses.
Demos that comply
Medical device demonstrations may need regulatory wording, restricted access or clinical staff present. Plan demo stations with controlled sight lines and space for a presenter and a small group; keep claims on graphics to what is approved for the market.
Distributor meetings are the business
Most deals at Arab Health are with distributors and hospital procurement. Closed or semi-closed meeting rooms, scheduled slots and a hospitality counter earn more than a bigger screen.
Finishes and lighting
Clean, bright, hygienic-looking surfaces, solid-surface counters, white and clinical blues with a brand accent, and even lighting that shows equipment accurately.
Deadlines and budget
Submission deadlines fall in late autumn for a January–February show, when workshops are already full of GITEX follow-on work. Brief by September for a custom stand. A 36 m² custom healthcare stand with demo stations and a meeting room typically runs AED 80,000–130,000 excluding VAT.
