Have you heard that the 10th edition of the Façade Design & Engineering Middle
East Forum & Awards (18 September 2017, Dubai) is back with a new and
improved format?
With exclusive business exchange sessions and extended networking time, this oneday
forum presents a great opportunity to not only hear about the requirements of
those looking to create world-class visual, high-performing and safe façades, but
also interact one-to-one with those working on the biggest projects in the region to
offer insights and propose alternative solutions.
Meet and network with the region’s most influential architects, consultants and
developers on their latest projects and discuss innovative façade design &
engineering techniques as well as materials required which are compatible with
the Middle East climate.
