The Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre is the largest exhibition venue in the Middle East. ADNEC was established in August 2005 under a decree issued by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi. The objective was to develop a venue that would replace the old Abu Dhabi International Exhibition Center and attract more meetings, incentives, conferences and events into the emirate. It embraced the broader goal of enhancing Abu Dhabi’s image as a business, leisure and lifestyle destination.

With 73,000sqm of live event space divided into 12 halls, an 18,000 sqm visitor concourse and a 3,000 sqm atrium ADNEC features state-of-the-art facilities and technical equipment for RedFilo events …
