The History of ARABLAB LIVE
 

ARABLAB LIVE was created by David Domoney in 1982. A pioneer of the international events industry, he has been involved in the creation of other large-scale events which remain leading events till this day. He created what can be considered as the first ever exhibition in the UAE using a large tent at the Dubai Creek.

Following this historic instance was the creation of the Dubai World Trade Centre; one of the leading and busiest trade exhibition venues in the world where the show remains till this day.

In the beginning ARABLAB LIVE was focused primarily on the health industry, attracting only 30 local companies. It has grown to 15,000 attendees coming from 120+ countries, covering a wide range of industry.

Research, analysis, testing and quality control remain the backbone of the event, which all industries rely on to function.
