Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (Adnec) has posted record Q1 results in 2015, hosting 14 exhibitions and 5 conferences that attracted more than 270,000 visitors to both Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and Al Ain Convention Centre.

In Q1 2015, Adnec hosted 5 conferences, representing 400% increase compared to the same period of 2014.

Additionally, it generated about Dh842 million in economic impact for Abu Dhabi during the first three months of 2015.

Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Acting Group CEO at Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company, said: “It has been a busy quarter for Adnec and we are proud to have surpassed 270,000 visitors during this period. Of the key contributing factors to this growth is the unparalleled quality of our facilities as well as the increased capacity of our venues to keep up with the growth in the event portfolio. In addition, Adnec has built a world class workforce whose diligent efforts to turn challenges into opportunities help us achieve our strategic goals and meet the expectations of our partners and event organizers.”

“In addition to the strong performances from our existing events such as Idex and ADSW, our new events also generated considerable visitor interest and have helped us surpass last year’s Q1 results in terms of gross space and visitor turn-out,” Humaid added.

Adnec has witnessed a phenomenal growth in the number of events its venues hosted in the first three months of 2015. All these events happening one after the other have tested the readiness of Adnec’s facilities to handle the huge turnout of international delegates and visitors, while ensuring the best logistical support to event organisers, exhibitors, and media, among others. As its event portfolio is expanding at such as rapid pace year after year, Adnec is committed to continually upgrading its facilities to keep abreast of the evolving demands of the industry.

In January 2015, Adnec hosted the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2015 (ADSW 2015) from 17 to 24 January, which included the World Future Energy Summit (WFES), the International Water Summit (IWS) and EcoWaste. Registering unprecedented success, ADSW 2015 attracted more than 30,000 participants and visitors from 170 countries becoming one of the biggest and most important global events in the renewable energy sector. The event convened countries from around the world to discuss the future of energy, energy security, sustainable development and the development of innovative solutions for global energy challenges.
