Mike Champion joined Trade Show Talk to share his experience as CEO of Tahaluf, a joint venture between Informa PLC, the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones (SAFCSP), and the Events Investment Fund (EIF). As head of Informa's Saudi operations and Tahaluf, he has grown revenue from $2 million per annum to projected more than $125 million in four years.  How? With two of the largest B2B events in history: Cityscape Global and LEAP. In November 2023, Cityscape Global debuted with 350 exhibitors, more than 10,000 international investors, an impressive lineup of more than 300 speakers and an astounding 160,000 visitors.  After launching LEAP in 2022, the second edition of the annual tech event, dubbed the Digital Davos by Wired, took place Feb. 6-9, 2023, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Over four days last year, LEAP hosted more than 172,000 visitors, 900 exhibitors, 700 speakers from 50 countries who spoke on 11 stages, 500 start-ups and 1,026 investors.  With LEAP and Deep Fest 2024 set for March 4-7 — about 4 weeks out — Champion told us registrations are tracking 3X higher than they were last year at this point, and he's excited about the fact that 53% of attendees are international. In December, Tahaluf announced plans to launch 20 new sectors-specific trade and consumer events in the Kingdom within 18 months. The expansion is estimated to generate more than $1 billion in economic impact in Riyadh through exhibitor and delegate spending on travel and hospitality.  Find out how he is recruiting and ramping the team at Tahaluf to support the Kingdom's Vision 2030 objective to become a truly diverse economy in six years, creating high-value employment opportunities for Saudi citizens.  Champion shares the company's ambitious plans to leverage Informa's global expertise to create a world-class events sector in the Kingdom to advance economic diversification, provide access to new markets for international businesses, attract foreign investment and support the modernization of business activity in Saudi Arabia.   Our guest Mike Champion is CEO of Tahaluf, a joint venture between Informa PLC, the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones (SAFCSP), and the Events Investment Fund (EIF).

Another round of major real estate projects have been announced by UAE developers, but what stands out in a market blessed with a wealth of new ventures? In this episode of Construction Week Viewpoint, hosts Oscar Rousseau and Jack Ball review project updates from developers including Arada, Jumeirah Group, and Imkan who all made big announcements at Dubai trade show Cityscape Global, which ran from 2-4 October.

Finally, after a long summer, things appear to be kicking back in to gear. Dubai is set to host two of its best-known events this week, with the return of Cityscape Global and GITEX Shopper. The latter is expected to see crowds flock to the Dubai World Trade Centre in search of a bargain on gadgets and larger electronics, such as televisions and laptops. Cityscape, meanwhile, will bring together the country’s property developers, real estate agents, and government officials, in honour of one of Dubai’s most important industries. The likes of Damac and RAK Properties are expected to unveil large projects, with participants such as Nakheel, Emaar, and Azizi also likely to play a big role in the event, often seen as a barometer of the property market’s health. Globally, Brazil is set to go to the polls this week in a general election that will decide a new president and vice president, while back in the UK, the Conservative party will meet for its annual conference, with a number of major Brexit announcements anticipated.

The Business team takes the podcast on the road for the first time, with a special episode from Cityscape Global, the annual property exhibition currently taking place in Dubai. Ed Clowes and Sarah Diaa discuss one of the key trends at the event this year; mid-income housing, an under-served segment of the residential market where demand is particularly strong. The team discusses the supply/demand sides of that segment, and what developers are finally doing to address the demand. Finally, the team also talks to industry experts from JLL, Nakheel, and Dubai South who share their insights on the mid-market segment.

With Hurricane Irma making landfall on Florida, mere weeks after Hurricane Harvey devastated Texas, we look at the economic impact of these natural disasters, and whether or not they will rattle the bulletproof stock markets.

Following the hack of Equifax over the weekend, millions have had their data stolen, so we look at the ramifications of this breach, and what companies can do to safeguard against such attacks. Finally, we talk about Cityscape Global, the large local property event taking place in Dubai this week, and we preview what to expect from the exhibition.
