Paper Arabia 2026 & CIDPEX Middle East 2026, which were scheduled to be held from 16 to 18 November at the Dubai World Trade Centre, have been postponed.
‘After careful consideration of the prevailing regional circumstances and extensive discussions with our exhibitors, international partners, and country pavilion organizers, we have taken the decision to reschedule Paper Arabia 2026 to a later date,” the organizers announced in a statement.
The decision, the statement said, has been taken in the best interest of exhibitors and partners, particularly considering the concerns expressed by several international participants regarding travel and business conditions in the region.
“Our objective is to ensure that Paper Arabia continues to deliver the strong international participation, visitor quality and business opportunities that the exhibition is known for.”
The new dates for Paper Arabia will be announced shortly. “We are currently working closely with the venue and key industry stakeholders to finalize the most suitable dates for 2027.”
The statement assured all confirmed exhibitors that existing participation and payments will be carried forward to the rescheduled edition, with no additional charges for the space already booked, unless there is any request for additional space or upgraded participation.
“We sincerely regret any inconvenience this change may cause and greatly appreciate your understanding and continued cooperation. We remain fully committed to making the next edition of Paper Arabia a stronger, more international and more result-oriented platform for the global paper, tissue, nonwoven, hygiene and allied industries.”
The show is the gateway to the future of paper, board, tissue, hygiene products, nonwoven, disposable and pulp industry in the Middle East.
