The Event in Short

ISM Middle East is the regional confectionery and snacks trade fair organised by Koelnmesse and Dubai World Trade Centre as part of the global ISM network, formerly known as yummex Middle East. It covers chocolate, confectionery, snack foods, biscuits and cakes, traditional sweets and ice cream, and in 2026 is co-located with Gulfood Manufacturing at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Its 2022 edition, the 15th, featured more than 300 exhibitors from over 40 countries.

The ISM Middle East 2026 Exhibitors List and Attendees List from VisitorsList give you business contacts from both groups.

Questions About the Data

Request it from VisitorsList. The list covers food and drink producers, ingredient suppliers, equipment makers and distributors exhibiting at the event, with business contacts where available.

It takes place on 3 – 5 November 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre in Dubai, UAE. Frequency: Annual.

The latest figures list 300+ Exhibitors. The ISM Middle East 2026 Exhibitors List and Attendees List are built from these participants.

Mainly food and drink producers, ingredient suppliers, equipment makers and distributors active in the Food & Beverages market.

Yes. After 3 – 5 November 2026, the full list is prepared the next day.

Sales teams use it to book meetings before the doors open, marketing teams build invitation and follow-up campaigns, and account managers check which existing customers are planning to attend. Records can be grouped by role and company size so each team works only with the contacts that matter to it.

Lists are delivered as a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) that can be imported into common CRM and marketing tools. Each record keeps the company, the contact, the role and the link to the event, so segments can be rebuilt at any time.

Most teams start four to six weeks before the opening day, when buyers are planning their visit and agendas are still open. A second wave during the show and a follow-up in the week after it usually bring the best response.

An event audience is self-selected: companies that exhibit or send staff are investing in the Food & Beverages market, which makes these contacts more responsive than a generic industry list.
