The first edition of VIV MEA took place in 2016 and occupied 3 ADNEC halls. VIV MEA had spread into a fourth hall for the first time in 2018 to meet the higher demand for stand space. VIV MEA welcomes industry players for yet another 3-day exhibition and conference programme at a safely equipped ADNEC venue in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
