Hear from the industry

The event surpassed expectations! With invaluable content programmes and an impressive showcase of products and exhibitors, it's the ultimate hub for everything you need in one place.

Haneen Shalash

Design Manager, Expo 2020

In the span of a single day, I managed to accomplish what would normally take me an entire month - sending inquiries, obtaining samples and negotiating pricing with multiple vendors. Really amazing!

Baia Anusha

Procurement Manager

Big 5 Global provides us with a unique opportunity to connect with international partners, highlight the strength of the ‘Saudi Made’ brand in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 and reinforce our commitment to driving sustainable growth and development in the construction sector.

Thamer Almishrafi

General Manager of Marketing and Events, Spokesman of Saudi Exports

Big 5 Global is one of the best events in this region. Each year I witness tremendous quality of exhibitors, new events, talks and summits. The best part is the growing focus on sustainable construction and living.

Ramkumar Pillai

Project Lead, Gemini Building Contracting LLC

I met good manufacturers who are focused on climate action and from all over the world. It's helpful to understand the coming market and the available products. I've also seen that many collaborations are taking shape for the future.

Chimsy Chandran

AGM, Sustainability Sobha Constructions

I'm here to collaborate with professionals, meet friends and connect with architects and construction firms we can work with. It's also about how we integrate new ideas—like the materials showcased here—that we can bring to Manila. There’s so much to learn.

Amiel Amedo

Senior Landscape Designer, Clarq Landscape Design

I'm a developer and builder based out of Australia, so I'm always looking for ways to implement innovative construction methodologies and to further my supply chain for building materials from various parts of the globe

Vish Singh

Co-Founder, Managing Director, Nexus Developments

I had access to a wide range of very interesting talks. I learned a lot and look forward to implementing the experience in my projects!
