A new trade show focused on the latest developments in the transport and logistics sector will be held in Dubai, UAE, in November.

The event, SiTL Middle East, will be organised by Reed Exhibitions, a leading event organiser with over 520 events annually across over 45 economic sectors, in Dubai South from November 16 to 18.

The new event is the latest addition to Reed Exhibition’s regional portfolio of events in the UAE covering the major developments and transformations within the transport and logistics sector.

The event is set to provide an effective platform for government and industry stakeholders from across the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) to access leading technologies that increase efficiency and reduce costs in logistics operations, said a statement from the company.

The debut edition of SiTL Middle East is set to welcome over 120 exhibitors and more than 2,000 visitors, including regional distribution managers and logistics professionals keen to take advantage of the latest trends in innovations and solutions that could boost business efficiency and profitability.

In addition, the event will be an important venue for key officials from various countries to hold bilateral discussions, while the UAE Government and other leading commercial entities will highlight the country’s major efforts in building a global hub supported by world-class facilities and services, it said.

Khalifa Al Zaffin, executive chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation (DACC) and Dubai South, said: “Dubai South is committed to make significant contributions towards expanding the capabilities and strengths of the Middle East as an important hub for global logistics and e-commerce.”
