Dubai · October 2026

This is what's happening in Dubai right now.

Show after show, at the Dubai World Trade Centre and at the Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City. Technology, beauty, energy, healthcare, education, jewellery. Each one takes over a hall for a few days, and then it disappears.

Every single one of them needs people on the floor.

Still to come this month

Dates, halls and opening hours, as published by the two venues. Dates and halls do move, so check the venue before you plan a week around one.

How you get on it

All of this happens without you. Unless someone can find you.

Until now this work was passed around privately. Staff UPP is where companies and the people who work these floors find each other directly. You set your rate. You choose the shows. Every show you work stays on your profile.
