5 INTRODUCTION The 42 nd Mideast Watch & Jewellery Show turned out to be a grand celebration at Expo Centre Sharjah as hundreds of master jewellers, tens of thousands of trade and general buyers and industry executives joined in the festivities from April 4 th 8 th, 2017 An extensive marketing drive, a series of special attractions and an exclusive showcase of specially chosen gold and diamond jewellery ensured that the show once again reinforced its status as the most popular jewellery event in the region. Apart from attracting 61,661 visitors during its five-day run, a close to 10% rise in the turnout from the previous autumn edition, the MidEast Watch & Jewellery Show left a lasting impression on participants, who were all praise for the show management, quality of visitors and sales & business leads received. The 42 nd MidEast Watch & Jewellery Show was indeed a milestone in terms of publicity generated for the event, exhibitor and visitor numbers and their positive feedback, the impact it had on the regional and global jewellery industry and media coverage. the success is sweeter this time because it came at a difficult time, as we had to work harder to bring in more exhibitors, inspire visitors and instil confidence and optimism in them, said Mr Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Owais, chairman, Sharjah chamber of commerce and industry & Expo center Sharjah. Held under the patronage of his highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, supreme council member and ruler of Sharjah, the show featured nearly 500 exhibitors and brands at 30,000 sq. metres of exhibition space at all the six halls at Expo Centre. We are delighted that we could successfully provide a great experience to every visitor and exhibitor. We are happy to note that exhibitor and visitor satisfaction has been quite high and our key partners have shown interest in expanding their ties with us. The exhibitor retention rate is quite high and this time too we have started receiving bookings for the next edition of the show, said Mr Saif Mohammed Al Midfa, CEO, Expo Center Sharjah.

6 SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Fabulous, valuable prizes during the show. On every purchase of Dhs. 500, visitors had the chance to qualify for a daily raffle draw, where fabulous gifts were given away in prizes. The raffle draw and prizes was monitored by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
