A new home at the DEC

A new home for the world of healthcare to meet

Why the move?

After 50 years at the Dubai World Trade Centre, WHX Dubai (formerly Arab Health) has outgrown its space. You told us you wanted easier access, more room to connect, and a venue that matches the global scale of healthcare today.

That’s why we’ve moved to the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) in Expo City. This landmark venue is purpose-built for global business and collaboration. The move marks a new chapter for WHX Dubai: a new name, a new venue, and new opportunities to match the needs of the healthcare industry.

At DEC, you’ll enjoy direct access via the Dubai Metro, improved road links, and more parking. Inside, smarter hall layouts, more F&B options, and beautifully designed outdoor spaces make networking seamless and comfortable. It’s a venue built for global business; and the perfect new home for WHX Dubai.
