From Arab Health to WHX
WHX Dubai, also called World Health Expo Dubai, is the show formerly known as Arab Health. WHX Labs, formerly Medlab Middle East, no longer runs as a separate event. Its laboratory and diagnostics exhibitors now show inside WHX Dubai in a dedicated Labs Zone. The show also runs alongside WHX Tech and WHX Leaders as part of World Healthcare Week.
Who Exhibits and Who Visits
The organizer reports 4,200+ exhibitors, 90,000+ unique attendees, and 235,000+ professional visits, with 195+ countries represented. Buyers include hospitals and healthcare providers, procurement teams, and distributors and dealers. Government and health authorities, healthcare executives, and investors attend as well. A clinician and a distributor ask very different questions, so plan your stand for both.
Exhibition Stand Design and Build
We are a booth builder and exhibition stand contractor for WHX Dubai 2027. We handle the work from the first layout sketch to the last crate leaving the hall.
Custom Exhibition Stand Design
We start with your objectives, your audience, and your booth size. We settle the layout before we talk about finishes. Most healthcare stands need a clear demo area, somewhere to sit and talk, and storage that stays out of sight. You review and approve the layout before production starts.
Stand Fabrication and Installation
We coordinate fabrication, shipping, and installation so the stand is ready before the hall opens. Every exhibitor works in the same halls against the same deadlines. Plan delivery, access, and timing well before the stand arrives.
Graphics, AV and Lighting
Graphics should read from the aisle, not only from arm's length. A screen earns its place when it explains a product or runs a demo. Lighting should make the product the brightest thing in the space. We settle power and cable routes with the build, so nobody improvises on move in day.
Onsite Support and Dismantling
Our onsite team handles installation issues as they come up. We plan dismantling before the show opens, so your equipment and stand components leave the hall in an orderly way. Send us your stand number and sector, and we will check the layout against both.
Designing for Healthcare Buyers
Showing New Products Quickly
Visitors come to discover new products. Put your newest one where it is visible from the aisle, with 1 line that says what it does. Save the detail for the conversation.
Meeting Zones and Private Rooms
Some conversations involve pricing, regulatory approvals, or distribution terms. Hold those away from the aisle. A closed meeting room or a semi enclosed table gives your team a proper place for them. It also keeps the open area free for quick visits.
Visitor Flow in Busy Halls
The show places related categories next to each other, so visitors move through them in 1 route. Your neighbors will often be direct alternatives. Open the sides facing the heaviest traffic. Keep the entrance clear. Give visitors a reason to stop before they reach the next stand.
Lead Capture and Follow Up
Decide before the show how your team records a contact. Put that spot near the edge of the meeting area, not in the middle of the aisle. It should not interrupt the conversation. A lead you write down badly on day 1 is hard to follow up on day 5.
Choosing Your Booth Size and Layout
Inline, Corner and Island Stands
An inline stand has 1 open side. A corner has 2, a peninsula has 3, and an island is open on all 4. More open sides give you more visibility and more ways in. They also raise the cost and the amount of space you have to design. Choose based on how you will use the space, not on how much of it you can afford to fill.
Building on a Space Only Stand
Custom stands usually go on Space Only. You get the floor area, and everything above it is yours to design. If you booked a different package, tell us before design starts so we can plan around what it includes.
Country and Group Pavilions
WHX Dubai also has country pavilions. Our team has managed 75+ US country pavilions. We know how to coordinate a group stand for a delegation or trade body. Each exhibitor needs its own space inside a shared design. That takes more planning than a single brand stand.
What Affects Stand Cost
Booth size, open sides, custom fabrication, AV and lighting, graphics, and a second level all move the price. Decide first what the stand must do: launch a product, meet distributors, or show a full range. Put budget behind that priority. Add extra screens and finishes after. Share your booth size and budget range, and we will tell you what fits.
