The Mall Design and Development Forum is the region’s only platform dedicated to the planning, design, engineering, development, construction, expansion, refurbishment, and lifecycle management of shopping malls and mixed-use destinations.

Across the Middle East, malls have evolved into vibrant social, cultural, and modern lifestyle destinations that extend far beyond retail. They serve as centres for entertainment, hospitality, dining, wellness, tourism, and community engagement, making their design and development central to driving footfall and engagement.

As the region continues to invest in iconic destinations and transform existing assets, the Forum will convene mall developers, contractors, consultants, architects and other key stakeholders to explore keys to developing landmark destinations including innovative, culturally relevant and sustainable designs, providing world-class visitor experiences while driving economic value through long-term and efficient asset performance.
