GESS Dubai

GESS Dubai is a leading international education exhibition held annually at the prestigious Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). The name stands for Global Educational Supplies and Solutions and brings together the entire education ecosystem with thematic depth and a global perspective – from technological innovation to sustainable teaching methodologies. The event is organized by Informa Connect, a division of the globally active Informa PLC, renowned for hosting high-quality, specialized trade events worldwide.

As the only event of its kind in the Middle East that unites education, technology, design, and pedagogy on an international level, GESS Dubai has established itself as a key platform for decision-makers in the education sector. School operators, education ministries, start-ups, and international educators gather here to explore practical solutions and future-oriented approaches.

The focus is on digital education technologies and EdTech. Key topics include the use of artificial intelligence in teaching, virtual and augmented reality, coding platforms, microlearning, and digital tools for hybrid learning environments. This is complemented by innovative approaches to curriculum development, teacher training, and the growing field of education for sustainable development. Increasing attention is also being given to wellbeing – promoting mental and social wellbeing within educational institutions.

The exhibition floor features a wide range of providers offering STEM learning tools, interactive learning technologies, creative educational resources, security solutions, sports equipment, sustainable school furniture, and inclusive learning materials. GESS Dubai is not only a stage for innovation but also a marketplace for highly specialized products that are helping to shape and transform education from early childhood to secondary level.

Another highlight of the event is the international conference and workshop program, which offers valuable insights into global education trends.

Exhibitors represent a diverse international network of companies, start-ups, government ministries, and educational organizations. Equally diverse is the audience: teachers, school leaders, education policymakers, investors, developers, and consultants from across the MENA region, as well as Europe, Asia, and North America.

Located in the heart of Dubai, the Dubai World Trade Centre impresses not only with its modern architecture and state-of-the-art infrastructure but also with excellent connectivity to airports, hotels, and public transport. GESS Dubai is therefore more than just an exhibition – it is a showcase for educational innovation and a driving force for the future of learning in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

Visitors and exhibitors meet for the eighteenth time on the GESS on 3 days from Tue., 11.11.2025 to Thur., 13.11.2025 in Dubai.
