SteelFab, the largest commercial event of its kind across the Middle East and North Africa region, will return for its 20th edition this month at the Expo Centre Sharjah (ECS).

The 45th edition of Big 5 Global held in late November at the Dubai World Trade Centre recorded a remarkable 75 per cent year-on-year increase in international attendance, thus solidifying its reputation as the ultimate meeting point for the construction and urban development sectors.

Sustainability Forum Middle East, scheduled to hold its third edition in Bahrain on January 28 and 29, will focus on ‘Mobilising Action and Investment for Climate and Energy Resilience’.
