Dott& has won two of the most respected stand awards at ADIPEC 2026 in Abu Dhabi: the Excellence in Exhibition Architecture Award for Jereh Group, and Best Stand Design – 2 Storey (48m² and under) for Excel Astra Engineering & Construction LLC.
ADIPEC is one of the world’s largest energy exhibitions, and its show floor is crowded with ambitious, high-budget stands. Being recognised twice in the same edition confirms what our clients already know: Dott& is an award-winning exhibition stand design company in Dubai that delivers both the creative concept and the build on site.
Below, we look at the two stands behind the awards, the thinking that shaped them, and what it takes to create exhibition stands that win.
Jereh Group: Excellence in Exhibition Architecture Award
The Jereh Group stand was built around one bold architectural gesture: a sweeping red-and-white frame that wraps the stand like a portal. Its curved corners and integrated LED edges draw the eye from across the hall and make the brand visible from every aisle.
Inside the frame, deep blue walls carry Jereh’s key messages, including its world-first electric fracturing solution and integrated AI+ frac technology. Layered ceiling planes, a raised illuminated platform and a branded reception counter guide visitors naturally from the aisle into meeting and display zones.
The jury recognised the stand for its architecture, not just its graphics. Large-span structures like this demand precise engineering, careful detailing and tight coordination on site, which is where our exhibition stand design and build approach makes the difference.
Excel Astra: Best Stand Design – 2 Storey (48m² and Under)
Designing a double-decker exhibition stand on a footprint of 48m² or less is one of the hardest briefs in the industry. Every square metre has to work, and the structure must feel open rather than heavy.
For Excel Astra Engineering & Construction LLC, we created a compact two-storey stand wrapped in a striking teal digital-pattern finish, with the brand line “Delivering Today, Partnering for Tomorrow” running around the upper fascia. A glazed upper-level meeting room, framed in glowing red, gives the stand a strong focal point and doubles the usable space.
At ground level, an open lounge, a branded activation counter and interactive touchpoints keep visitors moving and engaging. The result is a small stand with the presence of a much larger one, which earned it the top prize in its category.
If you are planning a two-storey exhibition stand in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, this project shows what is possible even on a compact plot.
What Makes an Award-Winning Exhibition Stand?
Both winning stands came from the same process we use for every client, from a shell-scheme upgrade to a full custom exhibition stand:
- Strategy first. We start with your objectives at the show: leads, launches, meetings or brand awareness. The layout follows the goal.
- Creative concept. Our designers develop 3D concepts that make your brand stand out in a busy hall, with clear sightlines and a strong focal point.
- Technical design. Our technical team turns the concept into detailed, buildable drawings, structural details and organiser submissions, so approvals run smoothly.
- Production. Joinery, metalwork, graphics, LED and AV are produced to the drawings with tight quality control.
- Installation and on-site management. Our crew builds, tests and hands over the stand on schedule, then supports you through the show and the dismantle.
Keeping design and execution under one roof means the stand that wins in the render is the same stand that wins on the show floor.
Why Exhibitors Choose Dott& as Their Exhibition Stand Builder in the UAE
- Proven at the region’s biggest shows. Two ADIPEC 2026 awards show our work can compete at the highest level of the energy sector and beyond.
- Design and execution in one team. One partner handles concept, technical drawings, production and installation, with no handover gaps.
- Single and double-decker expertise. From compact plots to large island stands, including two-storey structures that meet organiser and safety requirements.
- Local knowledge. As an exhibition stand contractor in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, we know the venues, the rules and the timelines at ADNEC, Dubai World Trade Centre and Expo City Dubai.
- Stands built to perform. Every layout is planned around visitor flow, meetings and lead capture, not just looks.
