The new Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) is a state-of-the-art venue located in the District 2020 neighbourhood and community space, located on the grounds of the former Expo 2020 site. The new DEC space is set to be operated by the Dubai World Trade Centre and is one of the largest event spaces in Dubai, and Rove Expo 2020 hotel is the closest accommodation to the DEC! Here’s everything you need to know about the new exhibition space.
About the new Dubai Exhibition Centre
The new high-tech Dubai Exhibition Centre is an extension of the current Dubai World Trade Centre that’s ideal for conferences, gala dinners, concerts, exhibitions, product launches and more. The new DEC in District 2020 will increase Dubai’s exhibition capacity by 45% while offering new opportunities for the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (Mice) industry.
Coming in at a substantial 45,000 square metres, it’s the largest venue at the Expo/District 2020 location. It boasts 24 meeting rooms as well as 4 suites for gala dinners, seminars and workshops. The DEC South Complex comprises 9 halls that occupy 28,000 square metres of event space and can accommodate between 300 to 20,000 people. The DEC North Complex can house between 200 to 11,000 people in its 5 halls that take up 17,000 square metres. The DEC also sports its very own Majlis and VIP lounges for more private gatherings.
The DEC has been purpose-built to increase Dubai’s events infrastructure and attract some of the most influential companies and industries around the world. It’s also adjacent to the Dubai metro Route 2020 station, making travelling for business a seamless experience! Rovers can expect to enjoy easy access to a host of restaurants and other hospitality attractions, all just 15 minutes away from District 2020.
