“We managed to meet more suppliers and retailers who had decision making authority in three days than we would probably meet in three months. DCC has been a great platform to express and understand different views on what is happening across the region - especially during periods as unstable as we have now. It has become more important now - more than ever before - to ensure we are in sync with our industry peers.”

Ashish Panjabi,
Chief Operating Officer, Jacky's Group (UAE)

“Over the past few years, DCC MEA has not only strengthened its position year-on-year but it has managed to enhance its programme by bringing new vendors and providing solid intelligence about the latest market trends and developments. The organisers have managed to assess, design, deliver and develop a complete ‘all-in-one’ solution for better regional business interaction and better concurrence, so everyone becomes wiser.”

Xavier Caminada
Business Development Manager, Extra (Saudi Arabia)

“I felt that the event was a professionally organised vendor and retailer forum, where proactive retailers could network with their peers and share a common approach to discussing issues and opportunities with vendors. I certainly found this beneficial as a first time attendee.”

William Gove,
Managing Director, Intertel (UAE)

“The event is possibly the only platform for retailers like us, the vendors, and the industry at large, to not only unwind in a relaxed environment, but more importantly to discuss and debate critical and controversial issues in an open and friendly atmosphere with the objective of moving forward together.”

Shanker Iyer,
General Manager, Emax (UAE)

“This year, DCC MEA, as in the previous years, reasserted itself as the primary industry event that is both practical, functional as well as being fun. The VIP session was a good initiative that allowed the different channels to be heard; provided a platform for sharing ideas and a sense of comfort that you share the same challenges and obstacles as all the other competitors within the same channel.”

Hussni Chammout,
Regional Retail Director, CompuMe (UAE)

“DCC MEA gave us the opportunity to accelerate and improve our go-to-market retail strategy, especially in light of the current economic scenario.”

Hakim Amar,
Business Manager IT, Alghanim Industries (Kuwait)

“DCC MEA was an excellent platform to see some innovative products in the market and meet with some vendors that we may not normally pick up on our radar. It was also beneficial to interact and share views with other retailers from the region.”

Ranjith Punja,
Geant (UAE)

“DCC MEA was an excellent place to meet and connect with existing and new vendors. The interaction I had with them was very beneficial for growing the business. Workshops, talk shows and conference sessions also had a positive impact on our overall market understanding.”

Samer Abdelnour,
Alshaya – Office Depot

“DCC MEA was a great platform to interact with all elements of the supply chain. The presentations and discussions gave a holistic viewpoint in terms of understanding the trends of the industry.”

Raghav Koorichh,
Jumbo Electronics

“I always say that DCC MEA is the best event to find new products. It is always helpful to meet face-to-face with the vendors.”
