About Direct Selling Festival Expo & Conference

$110 billion industry set to grow in the Middle East

Direct Selling is not a new concept. For 60 years Direct Selling companies such as Avon and Amway have made their billions resulting in an industry worth $110 billion.

Market Research commissioned by the Direct Selling Educational Institute (DSEI) in Dubai, UAE indicates growth in this region due to the high percentage of middle-class populations. A fact, which is also supported by both government and international Network Marketing Companies actively setting up a presence in Dubai, UAE.

The demand for higher quality living standards and the expendable income to buy them is driving the need for faster development of the direct selling industry in the Middle East and North Africa. At the heart of this development lies the only exhibition and educational forum to support this.
The Direct Selling Festival is the Direct Selling Industry Event of Middle East & North Africa, taking place in one of the fastest growing markets in the World - Dubai.

The exhibition brings together market leaders, decision makers and end users from the world’s leading Direct Selling Companies and their suppliers. It’s the ideal platform for exhibitors and visitors to meet!
