All went well, we liked the location of the hotel, right in the historic center of the city with many restaurants around, no problems at check in!

IDEX
About the event
Covid-19 Update
IDEX is another exhibition that has managed to make a full return with a physical edition during the coronavirus pandemic in 2021. The latest edition saw a remarkable turnout and proved why live trade events are still powerful forces when it comes to sales and procurement. ADNEC Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company has already confirmed the next edition. IDEX 2023 will be run at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from 20.02.2023 until 24.02.2023. The event concept is face-to-face. The organisers will upgrade COVID-19 protective measures already put in place. The main objective is to minimise the spread of the virus on the exhibition grounds.
Calling Card
IDEX stands short for International Defence Exhibition & Conference. It’s a major international exhibition for the defence sector considering and performs a special role for markets in the Middle East. Over the course of nearly three decades, IDEX has done much to local consolidate markets and bring international business opportunities to the region. You can say the exhibition is a central meeting point for world powers from the West and East. It’s also one of the biggest platforms for the procurement of defence technology and equipment, and visitors have access to all the newest innovations on the market. The event is held every two years in Abu Dhabi, UAE and shares the stage at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center alongside NAVDEX, which is the Naval Defence Exhibition respectively.
Business Potential

The exhibition halls cover rockets, tanks, guns and other weapons, ammunition, military equipment, warships and protective gear. Basically, the full value chain is represented under one roof. This is why exhibitors will have a chance to meet with high-ranking personnel from government departments, the armed and naval forces, and the private sector. Chiefs of staff, defence ministers, and army, navy and air force commanders are a common sight during the exhibition. Although you have representation from European markets, the biggest numbers in terms of attendance come from UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, North Africa, the Asian Subcontinent and the GCC.

You don’t just get to see the new models, but also experience their performance. IDEX is under the direct patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE.

THANK YOU very much - I definitely will, it’s also a pleasure to work with you, very friendly, quick and uncomplicated. 😊
Of course, we will.
Best regards,
Sarah

PERFECT! THANK YOU MARK HANSEN!!

Hi,
The average opinion of our people was: The rooms were really o.k., good bed, enough space etc., and there was an easy access to the public transportation. What they did not like was the poor breakfast. Further two of them noticed empty bottles on the room at their arrival, that have not been removed during their whole stay. That's no good room service.

Dear Tom, Thank you for all your support. It has been a great pleasure working with you! Will definitely be in touch for the upcoming events. Best regards, Mariya

Dear Michael
Thanks for reaching me out. Tom Parker was very helpful and patient as we did so many changes due to the pandemic situation not so easy to manage.
For the future we would prefer to include the breakfast in the negotiation with the hotel.
I will leave my feedback in the link you provided soon.
Best regards

Dear Tom,
The Maritim Hotel Bremen was very nice accommodation. Could you book it for next year May 21.-23. during Breakbulk Europe 2019. Five rooms like this year. I´m waiting for your reply.
Best regards Eija Suntio

The Novotel was absolutely fine, thank you for your follow up. We do not attend WTM, but appreciate you asking.
With kind regards,

The Hotel Select was ok and had my room cleaned on a daily basis without having to request to do so. A very practical location where it was close to the MIPIM event and to various cafes and boutique shops. My only issue was that the water pressure wasnt strong enough and the showers are too small. Would stay there again though becuase of its key location. Thanks!

Dear Nicola,
Thank you for the good care and handling in finding a hotel in Amsterdam.
