AEEDC Dubai 2027 · Dubai
Dental equipment makers, aligner brands and distributors meet clinic owners and dealers at AEEDC Dubai, from 19 to 21 January 2027. Lazulite has crewed five AEEDC editions since 2016. We build custom and modular dental stands at Dubai World Trade Centre and fit them with Kinetic Flip Books, Holobox walls and lead capture kiosks. An engineer stays on each stand all three show days, keeping treatment units and screens running while your team sells.
Show facts
AEEDC Dubai, the UAE International Dental Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition, is an annual event INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions has run in Dubai since 1996.
Show details checked: 9 November 2026
AEEDC Dubai joins a scientific dental conference to a trade exhibition under one roof. Dubai Media Office counted 183 scientific sessions, 20 hands-on workshops and 390 poster presentations in 2026. Topics included oral implantology, endodontics, laser dentistry and forensic odontology.
INDEX lists seven exhibitor sectors: clinic equipment, laboratory supplies, materials and consumables, technology and software, disposables, oral care, and sterilisation and infection control.
AEEDC names four buyer groups: distributors, procurement teams, dealers and clinic owners finalising purchasing plans. Dubai Media Office reported over 74,000 visitors and participants from 155 countries at the 2026 opening, and 4,319 exhibiting companies. Bring dealer terms and each product's registration status by market.
AEEDC Dubai 2027 opens on Tuesday 19 January and closes on Thursday 21 January 2027, according to the organiser's website. The Dubai World Dental Meeting runs from 16 to 18 January, before it.
Dubai World Trade Centre hosts AEEDC Dubai 2027, as it hosted the 30th edition in January 2026. Stand codes on the 2027 floor plan carry prefixes such as S1, SM and CC, so include yours with the brief.
AEEDC keeps exhibitor deadlines in its Exhibitor Portal at online.index.ae, away from the public pages. Custom stands take six to ten weeks from brief to build-up, modular stands three to five. With fewer than five weeks left, call +971 50 173 8408.

Units plinthed, screens tested and stand handed to your team
INDEX's sales team shares AEEDC space options and rates after an enquiry on its Book Your Stand page. Lazulite then builds on the space-only plot. Bespoke joinery is made in our Dubai Production City workshop, and Modular Exhibition Stands ship from stock.
Digital and restorative dentistry both had AEEDC 2026 sessions, so buyers ask where a unit fits that workflow. A Kinetic Flip Book turns through a treatment unit's options panel by panel.
AEEDC registers residents, paradental staff and students as separate visitor categories, so your stand meets more than practising dentists. Each contact's role and country goes into Event Registration & Badging Systems at our kiosks, and dealers seeking territory rights are flagged.
Conference Halls A to E run sessions during exhibition hours, so floor traffic follows each break. Our engineer checks every screen, kinetic unit and kiosk form before delegates come out, then stays until the hall closes.
Clinic owners are one AEEDC buyer group, and some come to equip a whole practice. A Miniature Model of a four-surgery clinic, lit by Projection Mapping, shows where each chair and sterilisation room would sit.
Microscopic dentistry and intraoral photography were both on the AEEDC 2026 programme. Route a dental microscope's camera to an indoor LED video wall, so a group sees what the operator sees.
INDEX's 2027 floor plan marks an Oral Care Concourse. Set a brush head, floss pack or mouthwash on a Tangible Table, and its ingredients, pack sizes and dealer tiers appear.
Aesthetic dentistry was a 2026 AEEDC topic, and whitening brands sell on visible results. An AI Photobooth gives each visitor a styled portrait, with consent and an email field on one screen.
INDEX reviews AEEDC stand drawings through its Exhibitor Portal. Lazulite prepares plans, elevations and material details and uploads them under your login. Any requested changes go back as a revised set before fabrication.
The AEEDC homepage carries an Official Stand Contractor logo linking to indexdesign.ae. If INDEX accepts an outside builder for your plot, its portal sets the registration steps. Lazulite enters its crew that way and carries the passes INDEX issues.
Chairs with suction, lab furnaces and milling units draw more current than screens, so each goes on the power schedule with its rating. Our team maps their power, rigging and internet loads and sends each service order for you via the channel the AEEDC portal names.
The units and principal brands you plan to show decide where plinths, sockets, cupboards and the dealer table go on your AEEDC plot.
Structure and power schedule reach INDEX in the same upload, so one review covers both.
Content, kiosk forms and kinetic units run together in our workshop before the truck leaves for the Trade Centre halls.
Over the build-up days our crew completes the joinery and seats your equipment, ready for the 19 January opening.
After the Thursday close, your equipment returns to your staff first; then the stand comes down and contacts arrive sorted by market.
Working dental units set the first AEEDC cost line, because each chair or lab machine needs a plinth, a circuit and content. A modular AEEDC build sits at an indicative AED 1,000 to 2,000 per AEEDC square metre. Bespoke dental joinery sits nearer AED 1,500 to 3,500 per AEEDC square metre.
INDEX publishes one AEEDC price: its startup Incubator costs AED 9,000, booth included. We list power, rigging and internet, place those orders for you and itemise every venue charge. UAE VAT of 5% is added.
A distributor can show several principals on one frontage instead of booking a stand for each. Indoor LED video walls hire at a typical AED 300 to 650 daily for each AEEDC screen metre squared. An AI Photobooth is an indicative AED 3,000 to 6,000 per AEEDC day.

Startup by AEEDC, the Dental Startup Alley, and the Incubator give young dental brands their first booth. When a startup moves to its own space, our Modular Exhibition Stands carry over its graphics and kiosk content.
INDEX's 2027 floor plan already marks pavilions for 11 countries, from Japan to Pakistan. Custom Pavilion Building gives each national group one frame, shared signage and a counter for every member company.
Orthodontic and implant brands at AEEDC already hold 3D models, which our team converts into Holobox and LED Cube content.
