Preface
IDEX (International Defence Exhibition and Conference) is a pivotal defence and security trade exhibition. It is a must-attend event for over 131 000 participants from six continents. This includes Asia, Europe, Africa, Australasia, and the Americas. The Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) serves as the biannual event's host location. IDEX enables diverse participants from the defence and security industries to complete varied goals, such as forming strategic partnerships. As a result, international leaders, decision/policymakers, agents, and CEOs attend IDEX Messe Abu Dhabi. They represent leading businesses, various armed forces and government departments. Such participants comprise over 170 international delegation boards. They are also present as part of the over 1 200 exhibitors, 84% of whom represent a foreign country. This includes China, the Russian Federation, the United States, Germany, Brazil, and others. Such attendants present their latest innovations on an area of 155 000 m2, including over 30 national pavilions. Due to such reasons, 57% of the visitors attend to remain up-to-date on the latest modernisations. Additionally, 93% consider the event to be vital for their business. Also, 99% of the attending reconfirm their attendance for the next iteration.

Dear Tom,
We had a good stay. The hotel is clean and people are friendly and helpful. its nice to see smily faces when you start your day and when you return tired. The only thing that i can tell is the issue with the breakfast that while each time after i sent your email the issue was taking care the next day existed again. there was no update between personel and system.

Dear George,
Thank you for your e-mail.
During our stay at AXYHOTELS InnStyle in Milan, the hotel staff took great care of us. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the hotel, its location and the free refreshments provided throughout the day. We would like you to know that if we were to travel to Milan again, we would choose the same hotel.
In addition, George has always been very attentive to us. We have been very happy to work with him over the years. He makes a great effort to solve all our problems and requests with the same courteous approach.
On behalf of our company, we sincerely thank you.

Hello Mr Turner,
we would like to thank you for the excellent recommendation of the Best Western Hotel der Fohrenhof * * *.
The stay was pleasant and we really appreciated the restaurant's cuisine: the opportunity to have dinner in the hotel was providential given the long travel time of just 15 km separating the hotel from the fair (45-60 minutes).
For us the exhibition was successful and we have already signed up for the next edition in 2026: any possibility for you to find a more convenient solution? Better if reachable on foot or well connected by public transport.
Thank you and best regards
