“The dmg & KAOUN International partnership combines market-leading food and beverage industry events with international infrastructure and an existing hotel and hospitality portfolio.” dmg President Matt Denton said. 

“Having grown our regional and international operations significantly in recent years, dmg clearly shares KAOUN International’s view of high-growth opportunities in the region”. “Developing new markets and providing access for our global food and beverage business community to emerging growth markets is our collective focus,” Trixie LohMirmand, EVP DWTC and CEO KAOUN International, added. 

“Working together, dmg & KAOUN International will leverage our existing complementary experience, networks and brands to create a synergistic portfolio of food, hotel and hospitality events that offer far greater opportunities within targeted geographies.” 

“Our market-leading events have become centres of excellence in the food, hotel and hospitality markets and will continue to act as the gateway to the wider region,” noted Matt Denton. 

Outside of Dubai, dmg & KAOUN International will create more value for their customers, providing them with a reliable global partner bringing its proven expertise and professionalism to a host of new and emerging markets.
