We plan and deliver corporate events, conferences, exhibitions, product launches and brand activations for organisations across the UAE, the wider Middle East and Canada.

What event services does Emerald Ventures offer?

We offer end-to-end event management: event strategy and concept development, venue sourcing, stage and set design, audio-visual and technical production, exhibition stands, brand activations, guest registration and management, entertainment, staffing, on-site management and post-event reporting.

What types of events do you manage?

How far in advance should I start planning an event?

For most corporate events, conferences and launches we recommend starting three to six months ahead. Large-scale or international events may need longer, especially in Dubai's peak season from October to April. We can also deliver events on shorter timelines when needed.

We work with government and public sector organisations, pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, technology brands, corporate and financial organisations, and entertainment and consumer brands, adapting every event to the sector's audience and requirements.

What makes Emerald Ventures different from other event companies?

We handle the whole event under one roof, from strategy and creative concept to production and on-site delivery, with a single point of contact throughout. We are a boutique, human-scale team, which means senior attention on every project, transparent budgets and measurable results.

Who founded Emerald Ventures?

Emerald Ventures was founded by Elie Farhat, who leads the company's work across Dubai and Canada. You can read more about him on our founder page.

Where is Emerald Ventures located?

Our Dubai studio is in Studio City, Dubai, and our Canadian office is on Canotek Road in Ottawa, Ontario. We deliver events across Dubai, the UAE, the wider Middle East and Canada.

Do you handle event production and technical setup in-house?

Yes. We manage stage and set design, sound, lighting, screens, live streaming and recording, working with trusted production partners and running full technical rehearsals before every event.

How much does event management in Dubai cost?

Costs depend on the event type, guest numbers, venue, production and timeline. After an initial call we prepare a detailed, line-by-line budget so you can see exactly where every dirham goes before anything is booked.
