The annual 'Middle East Education and Training Exhibition & Symposium' (meetes) provides a one-stop showcase for those looking for further education and training both at home and abroad. The exhibition offers not only the widest variety of domestic exhibitors but also the Kingdom's greatest single concentration of international providers of further education, training, educational equipment and services.
The Kingdom's only dedicated exhibition for education and training, held annually in Jeddah, the commercial and leisure centre of Saudi Arabia, has the specific aim of promoting the educational and training markets. Since its inception meetes has become an integral date in the diaries of all Saudi students, those involved in education and more increasingly the areas of training, recruitment, careers and employment.
meetes is truly unrivalled in the Kingdom; indeed, such is the reputation of excellence that plans are to broaden the visitor base by developing the show into one of nationwide importance covering areas and sectors not yet catered for in Saudi Arabia.
Whether a student, parent, teacher, educationalist, or simply looking for a change of career direction, then meetes is a must visit for any diary.
For companies wishing to enter the market or strengthen their presence meetes provides an ideal, and proven, marketing platform for providers of services or equipment to this growing area of the Saudi economy, including: general education, higher education, e-learning, distance learning, training, careers and recruitment.
