Dubai: Tapping into the $97 billion anti-aging market, Dubai is soon welcome the world's anti-aging experts who will be participating in the first Dubai Congress on Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine (Dcaaam) to be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 7-9 November.
Matt Thompson, project director of organisers Tarsus said the anti-aging market is a multi-billion-dollar industry with a phenomenal average annual growth rate of 8.78 per cent.
“It's expected to generate sales worth $97 billion in 2008, hitting an exceptional $115.5 billion by 2010 according to Global Industry Analysts,'' Thompson added.
Medical practitioners from America, Australia, Europe and Australia have confirmed their participation in Dcaaam, which will present some of the latest groundbreaking research and revolutionary techniques available internationally.
The first in the region, Dcaaam is the official event of The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), together with its Arabian Chapter, and has already received growing interest from both the conference attendees and exhibitors.
