Avid Hilda to host exhibition for building industry entrepreneurs

Dubai: Avid Hilda, a leading exhibition organizing company based in Dubai, has announced a distinctive exhibition designed to benefit entrepreneurs and business owners in the building industry. The event will feature selective participation by builders, contractors, and building material suppliers, chosen by the policy council of the organizing committee, which includes academic faculty from a Canadian university based in Dubai. The exhibition will take place at the Festival Arena in Dubai from October 28-31, 2024.

During a press conference on Thursday at the Versace Hotel in Dubai, Avid Hilda’s Chairman, Mostafa Forouzand, announced that the grand 4-day event will open to the public from October 28 to 31, 2024. The focus will be on foresight and the use of the latest scientific methods and technologies, integrating virtual space and artificial intelligence industries. The event will provide an online platform for global brands to showcase their products through interactive booths, live sessions, webinars, and innovative sales strategies.

Forouzand mentioned that over 50 exhibitors and tech companies specializing in AI for the building industry have confirmed their participation, and around 25,000 visitors are expected to attend the event. He emphasized that the exhibition offers a unique opportunity for building industry professionals to interact with brand representatives, explore innovations, and expand their networks. The aim is to create a 50,000-square-meter advanced virtual exhibition space with 50 innovative booths, each equipped with cutting-edge technology, accessible online via the WTB app. This will offer a comprehensive and interactive experience for online visitors worldwide.

The organizer unveiled software developed and executed by Avid Hilda's own team. This highly functional and attractive program facilitates interactions among participants. One feature identifies individuals at the exhibition without approaching those working in the booths, gathering their titles and details from the information displayed on the glasses worn by visitors. If desired, it saves the business card or company profile of the person or company of interest. Visitors can select negotiation languages and start discussions via an online translator. Additionally, visitors can virtually tour the factories or showrooms of the participants through Meta glasses if needed. The exhibition will feature exceptional and unique elements to streamline communication and advance design and implementation choices.

Forouzand highlighted that given the UAE's leadership in technology and environmental sustainability, this significant global event aligns with the directives of Dubai's vision. This exhibition will include virtual booths with multimedia capabilities, such as videos, 3D models, and live chats.

Participants can discover advanced innovations, interact with brand representatives, and participate in live sessions and webinars. The exhibition provides a platform for building industry professionals and enthusiasts to stay updated on the latest developments, expand their networks, and experience the latest advancements from various sectors.

It is anticipated that major builders, contractors, building materials manufacturers, and knowledge-based companies in the building industry from around the world will gather at this exhibition. They will create an engaging and professional environment using the latest technological methods and environmental protection principles.

"By integrating VR, AI, and interactive displays, our goal is to create an exceptionally engaging and personalized experience for visitors, setting a new standard for exhibitions and events. We look forward to further discussions on this proposal and exploring how we can bring this innovative concept to life," Forouzand concluded.
