The 27th edition of the annually-held SGI Dubai, the largest international expo for the printing, signage, and graphic imaging industries in the MENA region, will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 24 to 26 September, 2024. This year’s event is gearing up to be an absolute blockbuster that will set a benchmark for the entire industry, promising an even larger and more impactful gathering of printing and signage professionals.
SGI Dubai 2024 will feature a variety of industries including its flagship large-format printers, in addition to digital display, labelling, textile printing, paper and printing, precision cutting engraving, multi-function printers (MFPs), LED, screen printing, spare parts and consumables, and retail. The success story of the mega event is seen by the introduction of cutting-edge industries with new and emerging technologies such as robotics, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence (AI).
SGI Dubai 2024 will have a much larger ‘Wall of Fame’ – one of the show highlights – which pits exhibitors against each other for some friendly and creative competition. Another crowd puller is ‘Masters of Wrap’, where multiple exhibitors showcase their products and solutions in the form of live car wrapping demos.
With the industry shifting gears at a healthy pace and the MENA region emerging as a huge market, this year’s event provides greater opportunities for hundreds of regional and global manufacturers and distributors in printing, signage, and graphic imaging who will be presenting their cutting-edge equipment and avant-garde solutions. The 2023 edition welcomed the crème de la crème of global brands from China, India, Italy, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the UAE, and the US.
SGI Dubai provides a vibrant platform for meeting and connecting with industry leaders and decision makers, meeting up existing clients, identifying distributors and partners, evaluating market trends, connecting with investors, reaching out to international markets, launching new products, witnessing innovation and live demos first-hand, gaining industry insight through panel discussions, and securing spot orders.
SGI Dubai’s role as a trading spectacle remains unrivaled, attracting sign-makers, print production powerhouses, gift and promotion leaders, media moguls, mall owners, automotive and real-estate visionaries, and stakeholders from the hospitality and tourism sectors. Additionally, the event has drawn 3D printing industry leaders, architectural pioneers, brand leaders, and image architects, all contributing to the vibrant tapestry of printing, signage, and imaging domains.
“We’ve meticulously nurtured this event over decades, and SGI Dubai stands not just as a B2B exhibition but as a thriving innovation ecosystem that interlinks brilliant minds spanning diverse industries. The printing and signage sector’s demand is rebounding, pointing towards growth – a trend we’ve witnessed since inception,” says Abdul Rahman Falaknaz, Chairman of International Expo-Consults (IEC), the Dubai-based organizers of the show.
“As the show’s influence continues to expand, the growing number of visitors is a testament to the benefit it offers all stakeholders involved. The 2024 edition is gearing towards becoming one of the largest in the show’s history and is all set to redefine the future of the printing and signage sector, unlocking unprecedented opportunities for growth and prosperity,” adds Falaknaz.
