28 Jan 09. Abu Dhabi’s upcoming 9th International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX 2009) will be the largest exhibition in the Gulf region this year, beating predictions of a business slowdown in the industry and the region’s MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) sector. IDEX, one of the world’s largest defence events, will occupy every available square metre of indoor exhibition space at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) next month – 55,000 gross sq. m. – as well as extensive outdoor areas. The capital’s Al Bateen Channel has been dredged to enable warships and naval craft to berth at ADNEC Quay which is located directly opposite the exhibition centre grandstand. Visitors will be able to reach these exhibits via a recently erected pedestrian bridge joining Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre with ADNEC Quay. A temporary mobility track will be constructed in front of the ADNEC grandstand for military vehicles to demonstrate their capabilities across a number of obstacles and challenging terrain.
