EdV Partners with GESS to Enhance Exhibitor and Educator Experience

EdV is proud to announce its partnership with GESS Dubai as the official event partner for the 18th edition of the Global Education Supplies and Solutions exhibition. This collaboration marks a meaningful step in our mission to help education technology and resource providers grow with confidence in international markets.

What the Partnership Means for Exhibitors

GESS Dubai is one of the most significant education trade events in the MENA region, bringing together thousands of educators, school leaders, and suppliers from across the world. As official event partner, EdV will be working directly with exhibitors before, during, and after the event to help them make the most of their participation.

Before the event, we will be supporting exhibitors with market positioning and audience mapping, helping them understand the landscape of schools and procurement decision-makers they are likely to encounter. Getting that clarity upfront means exhibitors arrive with sharper messaging and more productive conversations ready.

During GESS, the EdV team will be on the ground offering guidance, facilitating introductions, and helping exhibitors navigate conversations with potential buyers and partners. We know from experience that the quality of an exhibitor’s experience at a show often comes down to the preparation and the relationships built in the rooms between sessions.

After the event, we will be helping exhibitors follow up effectively, translate leads into relationships, and assess what the market signals from their GESS experience mean for their broader commercial strategy in the region.

Why This Partnership Matters

GESS has built a global reputation over 17 years as a platform where education businesses can access the Gulf and wider MENA market in a focused, structured environment. That reach is significant, but reach alone does not guarantee results. EdV’s role is to bridge the gap between being present at the event and building a real market position.

We are excited to work alongside the GESS team to raise the standard of support that exhibitors receive, and to help educators and school procurement leads find the solutions that genuinely fit their needs.
