Exhibition stand design and build at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi

Completed FANN stand: Geven, aircraft interiors. A real project reference, not an ADNEC venue image.

ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi hosts the capital's largest trade shows, congresses and national celebration events. FANN designs and builds custom exhibition stands for exhibitors at the venue: the brief starts from your confirmed allocation and exhibitor manual, moves through 3D design visuals, and continues into fabrication at our Umm Al Quwain workshop, delivery, installation and dismantling. We are an independent contractor, not ADNEC, the show organiser or an appointed official contractor.

Share your ADNEC stand brief

Start from the allocation and the exhibitor manual

Every stand at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi is governed by the show's exhibitor manual: build-up and dismantling windows, submission deadlines for drawings, height limits and service order cut-offs. Send us the hall and stand number, dimensions, open sides and the current manual. Public show dates are not build-up, submission or dismantling deadlines; those come from your manual.

  • Allocation: hall, stand number, dimensions, open sides and any adjoining structures.
  • Submissions: stand drawings and risk documents to the organiser or venue by the stated deadline, with a named owner on our side.
  • Deadlines: service orders and approval submissions carry their own cut-off dates, separate from the show dates.

Venue services and the official contractor

ADNEC Group operates its own official services arm, Capital 360, which offers stand services at the venue. Exhibitors with space-only allocations commonly appoint their own stand contractor for a custom build; confirm the current rules, nomination forms and any venue approval steps for an independent contractor in your exhibitor manual. FANN works to whichever appointment route your show requires.

  • Utilities and services: power, water, compressed air, internet and rigging are ordered through the venue or organiser order forms, with early-order deadlines.
  • Rigging and overhead structures: only with venue approval and certified rigging points; plan loads and drawings early.
  • Double-deck stands: possible in principle, subject to venue approval, structural drawings and the manual's conditions.

National celebration events: Eid Al Etihad at Abu Dhabi venues

Around 2 December, Eid Al Etihad brings national celebration events to Abu Dhabi, and exhibitors need stands with heritage-led design, interactive areas and precise approvals. Our completed National Expression project for ADEK in Abu Dhabi is a documented reference for this kind of celebration build. We scope these stands the same way as trade-show projects: brief, 3D visuals, in-house fabrication, installation and dismantling agreed in writing.

One scoped contract from design to dismantling

FANN takes the agreed design into fabrication in our own workshop, then logistics, installation and dismantling at the venue. You get one scoped contract and one accountable team from concept to handover, with the itemised scope in writing before work begins.

Real FANN projects to inform your ADNEC brief

Documented completed projects from the FANN archive. The ADEK project was built in Abu Dhabi; the others are Dubai references that show the same design-and-build process.
