GITEX history

The show was launched in 1981 as GITE and occupied Hall One of the Dubai World Trade Centre.[4] With the launch of MacWorld at the 1988 show, GITEX (the X had been added by now) expanded to two halls of the exhibition centre. For some years it has now filled the entire DWTC complex, currently consisting of 10 exhibition halls comprising a million feet of exhibition space.[5]
