ABOUT THE SHOW

What is Automechanika Dubai?

Automechanika Dubai is an automotive aftermarket trade show relevant to manufacturers, distributors, workshop professionals and fleet businesses. The 2026 edition is listed at Dubai Exhibition Centre. Match the visit to your parts, service or workshop requirements and the suppliers qualified to address them.

The Bentley Dubai Mall reference is Nucleus brand/signage work, not an Automechanika exhibition project.

Current Organiser Information ↗
KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING

Venue, location
& arrival planning.

Confirm the hall, entrance and event component on your booking. Exhibition dates are not contractor access or build dates.

Maps identify the venue, not a confirmed entrance or hall. Use current organiser travel guidance for shuttles, parking, pass access and accessibility. Multi-venue events require a separate allocation check.

FOR VISITORS & BUYERS

Make the visit
worth the journey.

Preparation guidance from Nucleus. Admission, programme and ticket entitlements are set by the organiser.

01

Define the sourcing requirement

Bring product families, vehicle applications, market needs and documentation questions. Separate distributor discussions from technical equipment evaluations so the right people attend each meeting.

02

Plan equipment demonstrations

Ask what a demonstration covers, what utilities or operating conditions it depends on, and which information can be supplied afterwards. Do not substitute a show-floor trial for your own technical assessment.

03

Confirm the move to DEC

Use the 2026 floor plan and arrival guidance for Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai. Older DWTC directions and hall assumptions should not be carried forward.

Before booking travel

Check admission eligibility, pass types, current prices and opening hours through the organiser. Confirm the edition, venue, hall and separate programme access. Establish visa and entry requirements for your passport through relevant official channels before making travel commitments.

Plan the daily route

Choose accommodation against your confirmed venue and meeting schedule. Check current travel, entrance and accessibility instructions. Leave buffers between meetings and between sites at multi-venue shows. Keep booking confirmations, badges and a named contact available offline.

FOR INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITORS

From booked space
to a working brief.

Planning From Overseas ↗

Share the booked space, brand standards, product specifications and intended conversations before developing a custom stand concept. Define technical and operational responsibilities together with the visual brief.

01

Parts, products and equipment displays

Develop this part of the stand around your products, team and booked allocation. Confirm the details in the project scope rather than assume a standard inclusion.

02

Demonstration and handling requirements

Develop this part of the stand around your products, team and booked allocation. Confirm the details in the project scope rather than assume a standard inclusion.

03

Buyer and distributor meeting flow

Develop this part of the stand around your products, team and booked allocation. Confirm the details in the project scope rather than assume a standard inclusion.

01 / DEFINE

Commercial objectives

Agree target visitors, priority products and the conversations the space must support. Share brand guidelines, the booked allocation, budget context and decision makers.

02 / RESOLVE

Design & technical scope

Develop the concept alongside equipment, utilities and operational needs. Identify who supplies each service and who submits drawings. State scope, exclusions and responsibilities clearly in the quotation.

03 / CONFIRM

Approvals & production

Work backwards from the current manual’s deadlines and contracted access windows. Confirm materials, artwork and technical submissions before production. This is a planning sequence, not a promised lead time.

04 / OPERATE

Handover & breakdown

Agree checks for finishes, AV, utilities and displays, together with handover and support. Confirm removal, breakdown access and storage or reuse decisions within the contracted scope.

UNDERSTAND YOUR BOOKED FOOTPRINT

The space type shapes
the design conversation.

These diagrams explain open-side configurations. They are not fixed packages, actual project plans or an official show floor plan.

4 OPEN SIDES

Island

Open on four sides; consider sightlines, circulation and where private functions sit.

3 OPEN SIDES

Peninsula

Three open sides; consider the relationship between a backing wall and the visitor approach.

2 OPEN SIDES

Corner

Two open sides; plan two approaches while keeping displays and meetings coherent.

1 OPEN SIDE

Inline

One open side; the frontage, depth and visitor threshold become especially important.

Your allocation, dimensions, neighbouring stands and venue rules control what can be developed. Every proposed layout, material choice and cost is tailored to the agreed brief.

CUSTOM REQUIREMENTS

What must your
presence achieve?

Size alone does not define cost. Architecture, finishes, product displays, technical systems, specialist activities, venue services and delivery arrangements determine the project scope.

  1. What products, samples or equipment must the space accommodate?
  2. Which conversations or demonstrations should the layout support?
  3. What weights, fixing methods, power and connectivity are required?
  4. What storage, staffing and meeting needs must be planned?
  5. Who approves design, technical submissions and the delivery scope?
