When and where does ISM Middle East 2026 take place?
It takes place on 3 – 5 November 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre in Dubai, UAE. Frequency: Annual.
How large is the event?
The latest figures list 300+ Exhibitors. The ISM Middle East 2026 Exhibitors List and Attendees List are built from these participants.
What types of companies exhibit?
Mainly food and drink producers, ingredient suppliers, equipment makers and distributors active in the Food & Beverages market.
What is the ISM Middle East audience?
The audience includes retail buyers, importers, distributors, foodservice operators and procurement teams.
Is a combined exhibitors and attendees list available?
Yes. You can order the exhibitors list, the attendees list, or both.
Can I filter by seniority, industry or country?
Yes. Filter by industry, job function, seniority, company size and country.
Is there a post-event list?
Yes. After 3 – 5 November 2026, the full list is prepared the next day.
How can I use the ISM Middle East 2026 Attendees List?
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.
How is the data delivered?
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.
When should I start outreach?
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.
When was this data last refreshed?
October 31, 2026.
Why are event contacts more responsive than a general industry list?
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.
