Big 5 Global, the largest construction and urban development event in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA), is set to return to Dubai World Trade Centre from November 24 – 27 for its 46th edition.
The event is expected to gather more than 2,800 exhibitors and welcome over 85,000 professionals from across the global construction value chain, from planning and design to operations.
Big 5 Global comes as the Middle East and Africa account for $7 trillion in pre-construction projects, driven by large-scale urban development programmes and national visions such as We the UAE 2031 and Saudi Vision 2030.
“The global construction sector is at a tipping point,” said Josine Heijmans, Senior Vice President, Construction at dmg events.
“The scale of urban development underway in the MEASA region is historic, but the pressure to deliver is just as significant. Big 5 Global provides direct access to active projects, key stakeholders and insights, enabling the sector to navigate complexity with clarity.”
This year’s edition will feature nine specialised events, highlighting shifts in construction trends and innovation. Companies from more than 20 countries, including Germany, Italy, China, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, are confirmed to participate.
Big 5 Global continues to serve as a key platform for collaboration, networking, and shaping the future of construction in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.
