Co-organisers Messe Dusseldorf have advised the ITA and IWMA on Thursday 5 June that the next Tekno/Tube Arabia exhibition in Dubai will now start one day earlier than previously announced and will run from 10 to 13 January 2009 inclusive.

The ITA and IWMA are again offering "Oasis" exhibitor packages in prime locations for the event as well as special hotel rates at the very conveniently situated Novotel Hotel on the Dubai World Trade Centre site (subject to availability). Please contact the ITA/IWMA Secretariat as soon as possible should you wish to take an Oasis package because earlier indications are that the exhibition will be very heavily booked.

Some support UKTI funding is available to qualifying UK exhibitors on a first come first served basis.
