From 31 May to 2 June 2021 at Dubai World Trade Centre, INDEX connects architects, designers, buyers, developers, distributors and sellers of interiors products at the first live interiors show this year in the Middle East region.

INDEX, the largest and longest running collection of interior products for trade buyers in the Middle East is delighted to confirm its return in 2021, with its 30th edition.

Visitor registrations are now open for the event, which allows the interiors industry to meet once again, and points to a positive new chapter for both INDEX and the regional design community after a highly challenging period. 

The first show of its kind to take place in close to two years globally, this show will allow thousands of attendees and exhibitors the chance to interact safely in a face-to-face setting, gaining valuable news, insights and access to the latest industry developments.

The announcement comes after the successful hosting of large-scale trade shows, GITEX Technology Week and Gulfood in recent months, both hosted in Dubai World Trade Centre, a venue that has been awarded Venue Safe COVID certification. The event will be operated under world-class event health and safety operating procedures, implementing the dmg events All Secure COVID-19 protocol. 

INDEX is supported by the great and the good of the global and regional design scene, welcoming Cosentino, DuPont Corian, Eichholtz, EMKAY, GEBERIT, Presto, Shure, Scientechnic, and Vitra alongside hundreds of other regional and international brands, designers and manufacturers. 

Katie McBride, INDEX Event Director said, “We are delighted that INDEX will return this year. Now more than ever, the industry needs a platform from which to connect, and we are ready to allow our community the chance to finally meet in a controlled and safe environment, to showcase their innovations and successes from the past 24 months and to discuss how the market has evolved during the COVID-19 era. We are very much a visual and physical sector and also thrive in challenging conditions. As such, INDEX is perfectly timed to allow us to keep up with the fast-paced nature of the GCC’s rapid development goals. We are confident that all who visit us in 2021 will gain rich inspiration and leave furnished with new ideas, products and contacts.” 

INDEX 2021 will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre (Dubai, UAE), co-located with The Hotel Show, Workspace and The Leisure Show, offering increased value with access to all shows with a single entrance badge.
