Overview
Event management licensing in Dubai
Event management companies in Dubai require DET trade licence with event organising, exhibition, or entertainment activity codes, and typically need Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DTCM) — tourism regulator — approval for tourism-related event services.
Activities cover corporate conferences, product launches, exhibitions, weddings, concerts, and venue management — each triggering specific external approvals depending on scale, venue, and entertainment content.
KPM Global Services structures event companies on mainland or in appropriate free zones, secures DTCM NOC, and advises on per-event permits for large public gatherings.
