MEFMA CONFEX & Awards Returns to Dubai Amidst Industry Boom

The Middle East Facility Management Association (MEFMA) is set to host its premier annual event, the MEFMA CONFEX & Awards 2025, from October 28 to 30. The highly anticipated gathering will take place at the JW Marriott Hotel Marina in Dubai.

A Decade of Industry Leadership and Collaboration

Celebrating its 12th edition, MEFMA CONFEX has evolved into the region’s most influential event focused on the Facility Management (FM) industry. The event attracts top executives, industry pioneers, thought leaders, and decision-makers from across the Middle East.

Strong Growth Signals a Thriving FM Sector

The Facility Management sector in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is experiencing unprecedented growth. Valued at USD 54.6 billion in 2023, the market is forecasted to reach USD 72 billion by 2028. This surge is driven by government development plans, major infrastructure ventures, the rise of smart cities, and the need for sustainable, technology-based asset management.

A Platform for Innovation, Dialogue, and Recognition

Over the three-day event, participants will engage in insightful discussions, explore next-generation FM technologies, and take part in the prestigious 4th MEFMA Awards of Excellence. These awards honor standout achievements, innovative practices, and industry excellence on both regional and international levels.

On this occasion, Eng. Jamal Lootah, President of MEFMA, said: “MEFMA CONFEX 2025 will be a landmark gathering for the FM community, uniting industry leaders to drive transformation, forge strategic partnerships, and unlock the next wave of innovation shaping the region’s built environment. As the FM sector takes on an increasingly pivotal role in enabling smart, sustainable, and resilient cities, this event serves as both a celebration of how far we’ve come and a forward-looking platform to define what’s next for the industry.”

Empowering the Future of Smart and Sustainable Cities

As the FM industry continues to play a pivotal role in shaping intelligent, efficient, and livable urban environments, MEFMA CONFEX serves as a catalyst for collaboration, policy dialogue, and knowledge sharing. The event underscores MEFMA’s commitment to supporting a future-ready FM landscape across the Middle East.
