The Big 5 November 2024

There are three reason due to which i recommend everyone to visit Big 5. 1. Big 5 is not only a UAE or MENA Construction Exhibition but this event is an opportunity for the whole World because it had... representation of worldwide companies. 2. This event also contains Workshops & Conferences which is very Beneficial for the for the professionals, businessmen and students, by attending these workshops you can learn new technologies coming in construction industry, getting knowledge, networking opportunities & CPD Certificates. 3. Every industry who has directly or indirectly connection with construction had representation there from Foundation to Finishing. Big 5 should improved in following things which i noticed is as follows. There should be More 1. Information desk 2. Catalogs of event (Listing of Workshop of everyday) so that people don't take picture of Standees. 3. Maps of every industry with respect to Hall. ( Like Building Material is on Hall 4, 5).

This year I was fortunate enough to experience my first ever overseas conference 'The Big 5' in Dubai. Since I am currently a masters student I was happy to see that there were plenty of learning oppo...rtunities for students as well. I was also curious to understand the theoretical concepts to the various products displayed by exhibitors, the various talks by esteemed professionals etc. There were a plethora of things to do like the project management talks, the live pitch of various startup products, refreshments were also being taken care of efficiently etc. I was also amazed at the variety of construction materials at display. from cement to interiors to cables to lighting etc with most of the suppliers hailing from Africa, Asia, Middle-east and EU. Project management talks were also amazing with profound speakers but there were some minor issues like lack of coordination when it comes to facilitating guests from entrance to the Hall, the frequent disturbances from the crew during the talks, issues with microphone system etc. Another annoying thing was the CPD certificate collection center, where I had to wait for 2 hrs to collect my certificate, didn't seem valid to waste 2 hrs when I could have done better things. Overall it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend people to visit it next year. Read more
