INDEX Dubai exhibition stand design

Completed FANN project at a Dubai World Trade Centre show: TREVOS at Light Middle East, Dubai, 2023. It documents Dubai show experience; it does not establish an INDEX appointment, a past INDEX edition or a measured visitor result.

FANN designs and builds exhibition stands for INDEX Dubai exhibitors. INDEX 2027 runs 1-3 June 2027 at Dubai World Trade Centre, alongside The Hotel Show and WORKSPACE. A build brief starts with your booked hall, stand number and floor plan, then agrees the design, materials, graphics, transport, installation and handover scope. FANN is an independent contractor, not an organiser-appointed contractor.

INDEX 2027: confirm your hall before the layout

INDEX 2027 runs 1-3 June at Dubai World Trade Centre, co-located with The Hotel Show and WORKSPACE. Each hall and allocation carries its own access, build-up window and service arrangements, so design and logistics follow your booking and the exhibitor manual, not the show name alone.

  • Confirm hall, stand number, dimensions and open sides from your booking before design starts.
  • Check the exhibitor manual for your hall's build-up, submission and dismantling deadlines.
  • Share the current floor plan as soon as it is issued; layouts are priced against it.

Design around materials, room sets and specification meetings

INDEX stands are judged like interiors: surface finishes, furniture and lighting room sets, fabric and material libraries. The layout follows your collection list, how designers walk the stand, and how many specification conversations happen at once, from open displays to enclosed meeting rooms.

  • List every collection and sample library with dimensions and display needs.
  • Plan lighting per room set so finishes read accurately.
  • Decide how many parallel meetings the stand must host, and at what privacy level.

Finish quality, lighting and utilities are settled before production

Interior buyers inspect joins, edges and surfaces up close. Finishing details, lighting plans and utility routes are agreed against your final layout before fabrication starts, so what visitors see on day one matches the approved design.

  • Agree the lighting plan per display zone before production starts.
  • Order power and data through the organiser's official channels.
  • Lock finishes and fixing methods before fabrication, not on site.

Approvals, utilities and product claims stay with their owners

Organiser approvals, utility orders and any technical or certification wording on graphics belong to the exhibitor and the organiser, not to the stand contractor. FANN builds to the agreed design and states which items it supplies; permissions and claims are identified as separate responsibilities in the quote.

  • Approve all graphic wording through your own technical review before print.
  • Ask the organiser which stand designs need advance permission.
  • Keep certificates and technical claims with your own compliance owner.

What belongs in an INDEX stand-build quote

A comparable quote lists every element separately so you can see what is included and what is supplied by others. FANN itemises design, fabrication, graphics, lighting, furniture, AV coordination, transport, installation, handover checks and dismantling, and flags organiser services and utilities as separate items.

  • Agree the full scope in writing before production starts.
  • Identify organiser services, utilities and approvals as items supplied by others.
  • Ask who is responsible for on-site changes and what they cost.

Frequently asked questions

When and where is INDEX 2027?

The organiser currently lists 1-3 June 2027 at Dubai World Trade Centre, co-located with The Hotel Show and WORKSPACE. Confirm your booked hall separately. Show dates do not establish build-up, submission or dismantling deadlines.

What should I send for an INDEX stand-design proposal?

Send your name, company, one contact method, booked hall, stand number, dimensions, allocation type and the current floor plan if issued. Add collection and sample lists, lighting needs, and storage and meeting requirements when known.

Does FANN handle organiser approvals and utilities?

Organiser approvals, utility orders and product wording remain with the exhibitor and the organiser. FANN itemises what it supplies in the quote and identifies organiser services as separate items so responsibilities are clear.
