Hopping from one beach-side venue to the next in search of the perfect whimsical setting for a Spring 2017 fashion show, a thought comes to mind – wouldn’t it be so exciting to have a runway on the helipad of the most iconic hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab? The event venue is a significant component of the experience and choosing a conventional spot may lead to a lack of attendees, interest and achieve poor results. To be set apart and be considered as one of the top event companies in Dubai or anywhere, try something different and do the unexpected.
So, where do you start? You always start with your target audience. Define who they are and the experience you would like them to have. Next define the other objectives and elements of the event. Are you hosting a corporate event in Dubai? Is it a media event? Is it a less structured networking event with a colorful libation and a tasteful assortment of canapés? Will your audience need to participate in an activity? Or is it a combination of everything?
The audience will always want memorable new experiences, information and meet new people. Find a unique event venue that will achieve your goals in an effective manner – A place that supports distinctive ways of hearing and learning.
Here are our top five extraordinary event venues, which like us, some of the Expert best event management companies in Dubai would have considered:
- Burj Al Arab Helipad: The world renowned Burj Al Arab is quite a sought after location for events but do the unexpected and hold an intimate event on its helipad and be sure of a much higher response rate than for the conventional ballroom.
- Dinner in the Sky: The sky is literally the limit with Dinner in the Sky. They offer B2B experiences for brands, corporate events and more. Imagine watching the Rugby 7s, hanging 50 meters above the stadium, while your attendees have refreshments sponsored by your brand. Now that nobody will forget.
- Platinum Heritage: A premium alternate to the regular run of the mill ‘Desert-Safari’, Platinum Heritage provides an event site with ultra-luxurious range rovers (even a range of 1950’s museum collection Land Rovers), authentic Bedouin experiences , fresh Emirati cuisine, hot air balloon rides, falconry, all within the grounds of a royal family member’s private desert retreat. Regal treatment guaranteed.
- World Islands: Whisk your attendees away to another country with the World Islands, inducing a sense of heightened exclusivity and excitement. The location is great for all kinds of launches and events and Lebanon is open to event hire.
- Al Sahra Desert Resort Equestrian Centre: For those looking to have a large scale event against an enchanted backdrop of delicately shifting sand dunes, Al Sahra Desert Resort is your ultimate Arabian experience venue. Take your audience on a brand adventure and you may even use the Equestrian Centre’s camels and horses. Conclude with dinner and a presentation at an amphitheater that can hold up to 20,000 individuals.
You will be quite surprised to learn that once you start budgeting, the cost might even be equivalent to the traditional Event Venues in Dubai. And traditional event sites will always be required and probably requested for since it is the simplest solution. But even if you take your audience away for part of the event and try something new, your audience will remember and learn more and the goal is to create a valuable and memorable experience.

I do agree with all the concepts you’ve presented in your post.
They’re very convincing and will definitely work.
Still, the posts are very brief for newbies. May you please prolong them a little from next time?
Thank you for the post.
