About the Event

Following the resounding success of our 2024 edition—which brought together over 300 delegates and featured more than 35 influential speakers from across the GCC—Clean Middle East Conference – UAE 2025 returns with a future-focused agenda designed to explore the evolving priorities, challenges, and opportunities within the cleaning, hygiene, and soft FM industries.

As the UAE continues to set regional benchmarks in urban development, hospitality, and smart infrastructure, the demand for sustainable, data-driven, and human-centered facility management practices is at an all-time high. This conference acts as a vital nexus where knowledge sharing meets business opportunity, uniting commercial cleaning businesses, FM experts, housekeeping heads, healthcare hygiene leaders, and food service hygiene professionals under one roof.
