HISTORICAL NUCLEUS WORK / Tanatel - Jumeira ShowroomWhat is INDEX Dubai?
INDEX Dubai brings the interiors and design community together around products such as furniture, lighting, surfaces and architectural hardware. Its current listing is 1–3 June 2027 at DWTC. A focused visit can connect a project specification, material search or distribution brief with relevant suppliers.
The Tanatel showroom reference is Nucleus interior-sector work, not an INDEX exhibition delivery.
Current Organiser Information ↗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.
Make the visit
worth the journey.
Preparation guidance from Nucleus. Admission, programme and ticket entitlements are set by the organiser.
Bring the design specification
Prepare quantities, dimensions, finish expectations and the project conditions that matter. Ask what samples and technical information suppliers can provide for a later decision.
Compare materials in context
Record the product version and finish alongside supplier details. Consider application, installation and maintenance questions rather than judging the display appearance alone.
Check the full programme
The organiser also lists WORKSPACE and The Hotel Show alongside INDEX. Confirm your registration entitlements and the sessions relevant to your own purpose before building an itinerary.
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.
Official Registration, Programme & Travel ↗From booked space
to a working brief.
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.
Materials, finishes and lighting
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.
Product groupings and sample storage
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.
Specification and buyer conversations
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Island
Open on four sides; consider sightlines, circulation and where private functions sit.
Peninsula
Three open sides; consider the relationship between a backing wall and the visitor approach.
Corner
Two open sides; plan two approaches while keeping displays and meetings coherent.
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.
Request Current Floor Plan From The Organiser ↗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.
- What products, samples or equipment must the space accommodate?
- Which conversations or demonstrations should the layout support?
- What weights, fixing methods, power and connectivity are required?
- What storage, staffing and meeting needs must be planned?
- Who approves design, technical submissions and the delivery scope?
