M&I Expo
M&I Expo — Abu Dhabi 2027

The power of scale. The art of connection.

Discover the event

A global exhibition for the elite of the MICE industry coming to Abu Dhabi.

Exclusively designed for the "MICE 1,000" - a curated group of the most senior, influential decision-makers in the global MICE industry - M&I Expo prioritises quality over quantity.

Why? Because high footfall doesn’t always equal high-value leads. At M&I Expo, we prioritise productivity over crowd numbers, providing MICE professionals with guaranteed meetings and an experience that brings definitive value.
