Overview
Designers come together to create another best in class UAE industry event
2 years had pass since ‘Terra:Form’ at Expo 2020, perhaps the UAE design community’s most iconic gathering so far. Fast forward 2 years, and after a handful of smaller events, the craving was back. As always, bringing the finest people from right across the design, media, technology and creative landscape together for a great day / night of insight, music and community.
After a conversation with Pete from Aspexx, confirming them as our first major sponsor. And a rapid logo jam with Tabrez, the wheels were in motion. NXME was born.

Outcome
250+ people,
1000+ new connections,
Unlimited smiles.
Like many events, NXME was a story of struggle, unexpected challenges and hard work. Dubai’s flooding in April was a shock to the city which put many things on pause. But we battled through. The brand, the energy, the people focus and the amount of impressions created online before, during and after the event made it all worth while. Thanks to all of the team for getting involved. Tabz, Brenton, Simon and Nalissa.




Testomonial
It’s staggering the quality and ambition of this event for such a small yet talented group. Gareth is a formidable leader and a seamless co-ordinator. His ability to unify the team, sponsors, speakers and bring high numbers of people together is impressive. The event is highly aligned with our culture at Horizontal and it’s a pleasure to support.
