Avid Hilda, a prominent exhibition organizing firm situated in Dubai, has declared its intention to orchestrate an exclusive exhibition that promises fruitful results for entrepreneurs and business proprietors within the construction sector. This event will showcase a curated selection of builders, contractors, and building materials, meticulously chosen by the policy council of the organizing committee, which comprises members of the academic staff from a Canadian university located in Dubai. The exhibition is scheduled to occur at the Festival Arena in Dubai from October 28-31, 2024. Mostafa Forouzand, the Chairman of Avid Hilda, made this announcement during a press conference held on Thursday at the Versace Hotel in Dubai. This expansive 4-day event, accessible to the public from October 28 to 31, 2024, emphasizes foresight and the application of the most recent scientific methodologies and technologies. It merges virtual space and artificial intelligence industries, offering an online platform for global brands to exhibit their products through interactive booths, live sessions, and webinars, complemented by innovative sales strategies. Forouzand highlighted that more than 50 exhibitors and tech companies specializing in AI for the building industry have confirmed their participation, and approximately 25,000 visitors are anticipated to attend this 4-day event. He underscored that this exhibition presents a singular opportunity for professionals in the building industry to engage with brand representatives, investigate innovations, and broaden their networks. The aim is to establish a 50,000 square meter advanced virtual exhibition space with 50 innovative booths, each furnished with state-of-the-art technology, accessible online via the WTB app, providing a comprehensive and interactive experience for online visitors from across the globe. The organizer of the exhibition revealed a software developed and executed by Avid Hilda's own team. This highly functional and appealing program facilitates interactions among participants. One feature of this platform identifies individuals at the exhibition without approaching those working in the booths. It collects their title and details from the information displayed on the glasses worn by visitors. If desired, it saves the business card or company profile of the person or company of interest. Visitors can select negotiation languages and initiate discussions via an online translator. Furthermore, visitors can virtually tour the factories or showrooms of the participants through Meta glasses if needed. This exhibition will feature exceptional and unique elements to streamline communication and advance design and implementation choices. He emphasized that given the UAE's leadership in technology and environmental sustainability, this significant global event aligns with the directives of Dubai's wise and visionary ruler, Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum. This exhibition, in addition to professional execution standards, will include virtual booths with multimedia capabilities such as videos, 3D models and live chats, among others. Forouzand explained that participants can discover advanced innovations, interact with brand representatives, and participate in live sessions and webinars. This exhibition provides a platform for building industry professionals and enthusiasts to stay updated on the latest developments, expand their networks, and experience the latest advancements from various sectors. It is anticipated that major builders, contractors, building materials manufacturers, and knowledge-based companies in the building industry from around the world will gather at this exhibition. They will create an engaging and professional environment using the latest technological methods and environmental protection principles for people around the globe. 'By integrating VR, AI, and interactive displays, our goal is to create an exceptionally engaging and personalised experience for visitors, setting a new standard for exhibitions and events. We look forward to further discussions on this proposal and exploring how we can bring this innovative concept to life.'
