FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President
Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, whose support has been demonstrated by his annual visits to the
show, GESS Dubai is now going into its 8th year as the leading educational event in the Middle East
Region.
With the on-going support of the UAE Ministry of Education, GESS Dubai is the only education exhibition
within the region to have the presence of seven Ministries of Education and other education authorities. This
allows the show to have high level discussions that change the education sector in the region and provides
the platform for their delegations to network, have training and purchase from the exhibitors.
Now in the prestigious Dubai World Trade Centre, GESS Dubai was originally launched in January 2008 in the
Madinat Hotel Jumeirah. With a 16% increase in the number of educational companies represented year on
year, GESS Dubai 2014 saw 350 exhibitors from 35 countries; a truly international event covering the full
spectrum of educational supplies and solutions. GESS Dubai has rapidly expanded since the inaugural event;
this year over 9,000 education professionals from 74 countries were in attendance, a 33% increase year on
year.
In line with the expansion of the exhibition, the Global Education Forum (GEF), the high level CPD accredited
conference programme held alongside GESS Dubai, has gone from strength to strength. GEF provides
an extensive, world-class educational programme to help teachers, educators and academics of all
levels develop their skills and gain insight from international experts. Featuring a wide range of keynote
presentations, ministerial panel sessions, heads of state, CPD sessions, abstract presentations and
workshops, GEF attracts a wide range of international and local keynote speakers addressing today’s key
education topics.
GEF takes place over three full packed days and is free to attend. Over the past 7 years, some of these
world class speakers have included:
• Mr Joice Fernandes, Worldwide Senior Director – Public • Fathima Dada, CEO, Pearson Southern Africa
Private Alliances, Microsoft • Huw Jarvis, Senior Lecturer, TESOL
• Ross Mahon, Global Awareness Manager, Google Education • John Botham OBE, Semperior
• Brian Lewis, CEO, ISTE • Tariq Shawki, UNESCO
• Dr. Khalifa Ali Alsuwaidi, Assistant Professor at the • Dato Noor Rezan Bapoo Hashim, Former Deputy

a room full of these leading educational professionals?
