Don’t overlook the power of business expos

You don’t have to be an exhibitor or speaker to benefit from a business event. Whether it’s a tech summit in Dubai or an industry expo in Riyadh, these events are full of professionals, recruiters, and decision-makers—making them a hidden goldmine for smart job seekers.

How attending expos helps your career

Business events give you an up-close look at what companies are launching, what technologies they’re adopting, and what types of roles they’ll be hiring for next. They also let you introduce yourself in a professional context—no CV required—just a good conversation.
