major strategic events in the upcoming months. The total events that

will be hosted at the ADNEC Group's centres during the next four
months of the year are expected to exceed the pre-pandemic period by
more than 30%.

These events will contribute to attracting a line-up of exhibitors, visitors and
experts from all over the world to Abu Dhabi, with an expected participation
rate of more than 40% compared to the pre-pandemic era. The agenda

includes a number of events being hosted for the first time in Abu Dhabi and
the Middle East. Bringing these events to the emirate forms part of ADNEC's
efforts to further strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as the capital of business
tourism in the region.

The events agenda consolidates the position of ADNEC as an ideal destination

for major international events, solidifying its role as the largest exhibition and
conference centre in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), spanning an
area of more than 153,000 square metres. The events also reinforce the
position of the Al Ain Convention Centre as a primary destination for hosting
