EdV Partners with GESS to Enhance Exhibitor and Educator Experience
As the 18th GESS Dubai approaches with EdV as official event partner, exhibitors gain pre-, during, and post-event support.
As the 18th GESS Dubai approaches with EdV as an official event partner, exhibitors can access pre-, during and post-event support through EdV. This is one way we aim to build on the success of GESS as a globally-recognised platform and enhance educator and exhibitor experiences.

The Global Educational Supplies and Solutions (GESS) Dubai, now part of Informa Connect, is the leading education exhibition and conference in the MENA region. GESS has been connecting educators, innovators, and decision-makers since its very first event over 18 years ago.

EdV is uniquely positioned as a specialist, service-led education consultancy with both the domain expertise and deep understanding and presence — including within GCC markets — to oversee and actively drive growth on-the-ground as a strategic and local partner for education and educational technology businesses.
“Having supported GESS since its earliest iterations, I am excited to formalise this relationship between the Middle East’s premier education event and the region’s leading consultancy, connecting the right stakeholders with the best solutions.”
This partnership is built on the shared vision of both organisations to serve and connect educators and education leaders with business leaders committed to delivering products and services that align with the needs of real schools.
“I am delighted to announce our partnership with EdV, a service-led consultancy that complements our vision to drive innovation and excellence in education across the GCC region. GESS Dubai has always been more than an event; it is a dynamic platform where global education professionals, industry leaders, and innovators come together to inspire progress and create lasting impact.”

We look forward to connecting with ‘old’ friends and new ahead of GESS Dubai, on 11-13th November! Register for your GESS Dubai ticket if you haven’t done so already.
