Under the auspices of

www.thebigshow-oman.com
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
