GITEX Global is the largest technology event in the Middle East and one of the largest in the world. For the three weeks surrounding GITEX — the main show, GITEX Expand North Star, and the associated side events — Dubai becomes the epicentre of the global tech industry's Middle East and Africa strategy. Backyard Studio Official produces content for GITEX exhibitors, technology brands, conference speakers, and event organisers across the full GITEX ecosystem. For exhibitors, GITEX content serves multiple simultaneous purposes: live social media content that demonstrates booth traffic and brand presence to audiences watching remotely, CEO and product team interview content that builds thought leadership during the event window, partnership announcement content that captures key moments in real time, and a polished event recap film that becomes a core asset in the following year's participation planning and sponsorship conversations. For technology brands that aren't exhibiting but are active at GITEX side events, dinners, and networking activities, content production requires a mobile, reactive team that can cover unscheduled moments and produce social content on the same day. The GITEX social media environment moves fast — content that arrives two days after a panel discussion or product announcement has missed the window of maximum relevance. Backyard Studio Official has produced GITEX content for technology companies across a wide range of sectors and sizes, from early-stage startups exhibiting for the first time to global technology brands with 10-metre double-storey stands. We understand the operational environment of World Trade Centre during GITEX week — the access protocols, the best shooting positions in the halls, the timing of key moments, and the logistical requirements for fast content delivery in a high-traffic convention centre.
The Challenge
GITEX is one of the most logistically demanding production environments in the UAE. The convention centre is enormous, exhibitor stands are densely packed, event schedules are unpredictable, and the noise and lighting conditions in the halls are challenging for audio and camera work. A team that hasn't produced at GITEX before spends significant time solving operational problems rather than producing content.
Our Solution
Our GITEX production teams know World Trade Centre's layout, the best positions for filming in each hall, the light conditions at different times of day, and the access protocols that apply to different exhibitor tiers. We pre-plan GITEX productions with full shot lists, scheduled interview slots, and social content templates that allow fast turnaround without requiring creative decisions under pressure on show days.

Case Study
Global Tech Brand — GITEX 5-Day Coverage
International B2B Technology Platform, European HQ
Result: GITEX social content reached 2.1M impressions; 3 partnership announcements covered same-day
A European B2B technology company with regional HQ in Dubai needed full GITEX coverage across 5 show days, including daily highlight videos, CEO interview content, and same-day partnership announcement coverage for 3 scheduled partnership signings. We deployed a dedicated 3-person GITEX team — one content director, one camera operator, one editor — embedded at the client's stand for the full 5-day show. Daily highlight videos were delivered to the client's social team by 7pm each evening. The 3 partnership announcement videos were delivered within 4 hours of each signing ceremony. GITEX social content reached 2.1 million impressions across LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter over the 5-day period. The recap film, delivered 48 hours after show close, was used as the central asset in the client's GITEX 2026 participation proposal to their global marketing leadership.
FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do you need special accreditation to film at GITEX?
Yes. GITEX requires media accreditation for video production teams operating in the halls. Exhibitor-affiliated production teams can operate under the exhibitor's badge allocation. For independent media coverage, separate media accreditation is required from DWTC. Backyard Studio Official manages accreditation applications for all our GITEX clients as part of our standard event production process.
Can you handle fast turnaround for partnership announcements?
Yes. Partnership and product announcement content is the most time-sensitive deliverable at GITEX. We produce announcement videos with a 4-hour turnaround from filming to delivery — designed to be social-ready before the tech press cycle closes on the same day. This requires pre-built edit templates and a dedicated editor working during the show day.
Do you also cover GITEX Expand North Star and GITEX side events?
Yes. Our GITEX production service covers the main GITEX Global show, Expand North Star, and the ecosystem of side events, dinners, and networking activities during GITEX week. For clients with presence across multiple GITEX venues, we coordinate multi-location coverage with appropriate team sizing.
What is the cost of GITEX event production?
GITEX production is quoted per day based on crew size and deliverable requirements. A single-day booth coverage package with a 2-person crew and same-day highlight delivery starts from AED 5,500. A full 5-day GITEX programme with a dedicated embedded team, daily highlights, interview content, and post-show recap film starts from AED 22,000.
