THE URBAN DESIGN & LANDSCAPE EXPO WINS BEST MARKETING CAMPAIGN AT THE AEO EXCELLENCE AWARDS AND ANNOUNCES ITS SECOND EDITION IN DUBAI

The first edition of the Urban Design & Landscape Expo (UDLE), which took place last year at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), was awarded Best Marketing Campaign for a trade event at the AEO Excellence Awards on June 14 in London.

On its debut, the show gathered over 90 exhibiting companies from around the globe, attracting more than 3,400 visitors. Beyond building a network of potential partners and clients in Dubai and the broader GCC region, UDLE enabled international and local companies to sign impressive deals and initiate new partnerships.

Josine Heijmans, Portfolio Director at dmg events said:

“The AEO Excellence Awards represent the best that the events industry has to offer. Winning the Best Marketing Campaign proves the added value that the Urban Design & Landscape Expo brings to the industry.

“Not only did it successfully promote the latest technologies and innovations for the growing urban green and open spaces in the Middle East, providing a real ROI to exhibiting companies. The event also gathered all of the region’s industry leaders under one roof to discuss the way forward to achieve greener, more sustainable and livable cities.”

The second edition of UDLE, Middle East’s only dedicated trade fair for urban, green and open spaces, will return to the DWTC from 25 to 28 November 2019. The show will be co-located once again with The Big 5, the region’s largest and most influential construction event, which attracts over 2,250 exhibitors and 70,000 participants from more than 130 countries.
