Bringing people together is what we do every day at dmg events, not just on the exhibition floor, but within our own teams too. Our recent padel tournament did exactly that, with plenty of friendly competition, big smiles, and colleagues catching up off the clock. It wasn’t about winning (although some may disagree!, it was about spending time together, having a bit of fun and building the connections that make a real difference day to day.

15 years. That’s how long Rafael aka Raffy has been part of our story at dmg events. Raffy is the calm when deadlines are tight and pressure is high, he stays steady and gets things done.

He’s always ready to help, no matter the ask. And when it’s time to be onsite, he’s often the first one we send supporting the team, solving problems and quietly making things work.

Raffy, thank you for 15 years of commitment, care and consistency. Here's to many more!

Day two is underway at Big 5 Construct Ethiopia, hosted at the Addis International Convention Centre from 23 - 25 April 2026, as the industry comes together to respond to real demand in Ethiopia’s construction market.

Across housing, infrastructure and commercial development, the need for practical, affordable and scalable solutions is clear. With projects moving fast and expectations growing, the opportunity for the construction industry to make real impact in Ethiopia has never been stronger.

That’s why Big 5 Construct Ethiopia brings the full value chain together under one roof over these three days. Local and international product suppliers, solution architects and service providers are connecting face‑to‑face, sharing experience and working through challenges that matter to the market today.

At dmg events, this is our role. We build platforms that connect local expertise with global experience, helping industries collaborate and move forward. We’ve been active in Africa for over 10 years, with established offices across the continent and a long‑term commitment to its growth. Big 5 Construct Ethiopia, taking place this week in Addis Ababa, is part of that commitment - supporting the people and businesses shaping the future of Ethiopia’s built environment.

West Africa Infrastructure Expo and HVACR Expo Nigeria officially opened yesterday, bringing the region’s infrastructure and climate control communities together in one focused environment.

Alongside the exhibitions, the Nigeria Infrastructure Summit brought public and private sector leaders together to explore how Nigeria can move faster on delivery through financing priority projects, upgrading transport, power and logistics networks, and building digital, climate‑resilient and inclusive cities.

The opportunity across Nigeria’s infrastructure and HVACR sectors is substantial. Infrastructure stock is estimated at around 30% of GDP, well below global benchmarks, with the World Bank estimating up to USD 3 trillion in investment needed to bridge the gap. Population growth and urbanisation are accelerating demand for power, transport, water, digital infrastructure and efficient climate control.

This is why events like these matter. West Africa Infrastructure Expo and HVACR Expo Nigeria provide a practical meeting point for bilateral trade, product sourcing and informed exchange - connecting government, investors, project owners and solution providers to help turn plans into deliverable projects across Nigeria and West Africa.

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone at dmg events - 15 years of Julie Allen.

Over the years, Julie’s impact has been felt in how our events are delivered and in the strong teams behind them. As she says so perfectly herself, what stands out most isn’t the events we deliver but the people she’s had the privilege to work alongside -a belief that sits at the heart of how she leads.

Julie oversees a large global operations team responsible for the operational delivery of our events around the world. It’s a role that demands resilience, creativity and unwavering commitment, and Julie brings all of that every day.

Thank you, Julie, for 15 years of dedication, leadership and for always putting people at the heart of everything we do.

Today we’re celebrating Marie and 15 years at dmg events.

If you’ve worked in the office, you’ll know how much we rely on her. Marie is the steady force behind our administrative team. She keeps things running on time and quietly solves problems before they become issues.

She is always willing to help and she does it with a genuine smile. No fuss. No drama. Just someone who gets on with it and supports the people around her.

Thank you, Marie, for 15 years of hard work, care and commitment. We’re lucky to have you.

Staying closely connected to our industries is one of our core priorities - and our recent INDEX Saudi Arabia Advisory Board meeting is a great example of why that matters.

At the Advisory Board meeting for the 2026 edition, Dr Sami Al Sabbagh from DAR AL OMRAN - RASEM BADRAN and Nevenka Mekterovic from Adeera Hospitality shared valuable perspectives on how design in Saudi Arabia is evolving.

They spoke about balancing new technologies, openness and ambitious development with cultural identity and long-term relevance - and the responsibility design teams have to think beyond the present moment. That means working with trusted partners and creating projects that are built to last.

These insights feed directly back into INDEX Saudi Arabia, helping us shape an agenda that is relevant, grounded in the realities of the region and focused on delivering real value for the industry.

After a year of delivering over 115 events, we took a night to celebrate the people behind them. Our annual party was a thank you to the teams who make dmg events what it is - with hats firmly on as the theme for the night! It was a chance to recognize the long days, teamwork, problem-solving and energy that go into delivering our events. A fantastic year, a well-earned night off and a reminder that great events start with great people (and occasionally a dance floor!).
