The BIG Show Oman 2014 was the

largest building, construction and

interior design event ever to take

place in Oman.

This year, we focused on introducing

more new profiles like the pool and

spa, water technologies, green

energy and the mechanical, electri-

cal and plumbing sectors. The show

registered more than 13,000

visitors—a record-breaking result

for an Omani event. It has also

achieved more than a 20% increase

in exhibitor participation, both local

and international, strengthening our

drive to offer the best experience for

both our exhibitors and visitors.

In 2015, you could expect to see

more investment in free-to-attend,

high-quality seminars and

workshops. If we attract more

potential buyers by providing new

products, latest technologies, then

we know that our exhibitors and

sponsors will have the opportunity

to meet more potential customers.

We look forward to seeing you from

March 31 to April 2, 2015.

Sincerely,

Fehmi Ouaja Exhibition Manager The BIG Show Oman
