VP Projects

Rotana Hotels (UAE)

As an operator, it's actually quite interesting to be here with a lot of developers, designers, consultants and suppliers. It's getting better and better. So every year we enjoy it more, we have more contacts to meet, and we have new people to get to know. It's an opening opportunity for everyone, especially since this one is for Saudi, which is for us a very important market.

Founder

ROAR (UAE)

So here are three reasons I love the GBB Summit. 1. Fantastic, insightful panel discussions from the industry leaders. 2. I never get time when I'm in Dubai to have meetings with suppliers, with developers, with contractors, and they bring them all to one place, and I can meet them all. So it's a fab ecosystem. 3. I really get to touch and feel some of the products, and get introduced to some new products. So it's a win-win for a designer like me.

Senior Director of Design

Red Sea Global (Saudi Arabia)

I would like to thank GBB for this amazing summit, from start to end.

Thank you.

This is my first time at the event. I've very much enjoyed the first day and looking forward to the second day. The Saudi market is by far the most exciting market for our industry.

We've been linked very much to very relevant suppliers and ones that we are confident we will be able to do work with moving forward.

VP Global Marketing - Smart Buildings

ABB

It’s a great chance so much time with the buyer, and it’s very important to maximize our presence in Saudi Arabia. It’s a great opportunity to interact with a lot of players in the business in a very short time and to have very effective conversations. If I had to do it in a different way, it would take me much more time and would be less effective, so I’m grateful for this chance

Leader Architecture and Design MENA

LIXIL EMENA

Hospitality is booming in the region so it is definitely the right time to host such an event and bring together the hospitality leaders to discuss and to shape the future of the industry. It was a very good opportunity for the suppliers to meet the buyers, but at the same time, it was a good opportunity for the buyers to see the new innovations, technologies and products offered by the suppliers. I'm very happy to be a part of this event, and we are looking forward to the next one.

The quality of the connection and the organisation itself is really high-end.  And when you know the key people coming here and that's why I congratulate the organizer for bringing these people.
