Your Local Exhibition Stand Partner for Big 5 Global
Big 5 Global is the Middle East’s flagship construction and building industry exhibition — running since 1979 and now in its 47th edition. Held annually at Dubai World Trade Centre, the show brings together 2,700+ exhibitors and 85,000+ attendees from 165 nations across building materials, HVAC, construction technology, façade and glass, water management, urban development, and facility management. For 2026, Big 5 Global expands further with three new co-located events — LiveableCitiesX, GeoWorld, and Future FM — making it the most comprehensive edition yet.
Big 5 Global attracts major construction, building materials, and infrastructure companies from across Europe, Asia, and the Americas — German façade and HVAC manufacturers, Italian tile and stone producers, UK construction technology firms, and Chinese and Indian building materials companies all exhibit here. For these international exhibitors, Maple Expo exhibition stand contractor Dubai provides a full-service, DWTC-approved exhibition stand contractor that designs, fabricates, and installs stands remotely — managing the complete project from your initial brief to post-show dismantling without requiring you to visit Dubai before the show.
With 2,500+ stands delivered for clients from 30+ countries, an in-house exhibition stand fabrication CNC workshop, print lab, and carpentry team in Dubai, and IFES membership, Maple Expo brings international standards to every Big 5 Global stand. Construction industry stands often require robust structural elements for product and material displays, large-format graphics & printing for brand visibility across DWTC’s busy halls, and demonstration areas for equipment and samples — all of which Maple Expo builds in-house with full quality control from concept to completion.

Fully Remote Exhibition Stand Management for International Exhibitors
Step 1
Brief (Remote — 3 months before Big5)
Send us your stand size, hall allocation, brand guidelines, and product range. We’ll confirm our availability and send a preliminary quote within 24 hours. For Big5 2026 we recommend briefing us by Sept 2026 at the latest — August is possible but early bookings get priority slot assignments for our fabrication team.
Step 2
3D Design Approval (Remote — 3–4 months before)
Our design team creates a full 3D render of your Big 5 stand. You review remotely via email or video call, request changes, and approve the final design. We submit the design to DWTC and Messe Frankfurt for organiser approval where required.
Step 3
Production in Dubai (4–6 weeks before Big 5)
All stand elements fabricated in our in-house Dubai workshop — CNC cutting, joinery, graphics printing, lighting assembly. No subcontractors, no offshore production. Everything produced in Dubai, avoiding any import complications.
Step 4
Installation at DWTC (during build-up days before Oct 23Nov)
Our installation crew builds your stand at DWTC within Messe Frankfurt’s permitted build-up schedule. AV, lighting, graphics, furniture, and product display fixtures are all installed and tested before you arrive on site.
Step 5
Show Support & Dismantling (Oct 26 onwards)
We’re on-call during the three show days for any issues. After Big 5 closes on October 8, our team dismantles and removes everything within Messe Frankfurt’s breakdown schedule — nothing for you to arrange.
