The Arab Emirates International Dental Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition, known across the sector as AEEDC Dubai, returns to the Dubai World Trade Centre for a three day run from 19 to 21 January. The edition takes place in 2027 and is owned and organised by INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions Organization LLC, the Dubai based organiser that stages the show from its headquarters opposite Nad Al Hamar.
AEEDC Dubai is among the largest dental gatherings staged anywhere in the Gulf, and the organiser puts the most recent edition at 4,316 exhibiting companies representing 5,860 international brands, drawn from more than 190 countries. The organiser counts over 80,000 visitors across that edition, together with 2,195 scheduled business meetings and a reported AED 22 billion in direct and indirect deals.
The exhibition floor is divided into named zones that the organiser lists as Startup by AEEDC, the Education Corner and the Incubator, covering dental and oral healthcare solutions, equipment suppliers and market ready innovations. The scientific programme sits alongside the trade floor: the organiser recorded 183 scientific sessions, 20 hands on workshops and 390 poster presentations at the most recent edition, delivered by more than 192 international speakers.
Two further organiser programmes bracket the main three days. The Dubai World Dental Meeting runs across the three days immediately before the exhibition opens, and a Special Post AEEDC Series follows on the day after it closes, both at the same venue with some courses held at the Novotel DWTC Hotel.
The show is chaired by Dr Abdulsalam AlMadani, Chairman of AEEDC Dubai and of the Global Scientific Dental Alliance. The most recent edition was opened by Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in his capacity as Vice Chairman of the Dubai Health Board of Directors.
For the United Arab Emirates the event is a fixture of a healthcare exhibition calendar that the emirate has built out steadily, and its January slot has become the established opening of the regional dental year. Registration is handled through the organiser, with group bookings of four or more routed to a dedicated registration desk and exhibitor enquiries handled separately.
Executive Moves tracks senior appointments and corporate developments across the Gulf and the wider region, including the organisations that build and run its exhibition calendar.
