Dubai, Nov 22, 2022: GESS Dubai, the leading education conference and exhibition in the Middle East region, culminated its 15th edition with a resounding success, welcoming more than thousands of visitors, 300 plus brands and exhibitors and more than 200 speakers over its three-day run. 

GESS Dubai will be returning next year from October 30 to November 1.  

The event once again proved to be a valuable platform to generate awareness for exhibitors’ products and services and engage with key decision makers in the industry.

“We have signed two contracts at our booth, which is something that never happens at other educational fairs in the past, so we were really really happy that we attended GESS Dubai 2022,” said Daniel Rogoz, Co-founder and CEO of Kinderpedia.

On the other hand, visitors also expressed how GESS Dubai provided them with ideas and insights on how to leverage digital technology in their classrooms and schools, as well as helping them in their journey to improve in their profession. 

“GESS Dubai was back and what a week! Loved the relationships we built with new vendors for our schools, and the inspiration that radiated from the speakers!,” said Linda Parsons, Innovation Lead of Al Futtaim Education.

Alongside the exhibition and conferences, a glittering gala event celebrated the diversity of educational products, resources, services and people as well as the best educational establishments and the most dedicated members of the teaching profession.
