Check the edition before using a Jewellery and Watch Show visitor guide. A PDF that still appears in search can be useful background without being the right document for this year's journey.

Start with the live event page
The organiser homepage, checked on 7 November, lists 11 to 15 November 2026, Halls 1 to 3 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, and opening hours of 3pm to 10pm. The venue's event listing separately names the same event dates.
Use those as your starting reference, then check again before departure. This is an event listing review, not a promise that admission arrangements or timings cannot change.
Put three items beside the download
Before treating a guide as current, write down its edition, event dates and venue. Compare those with the current organiser page. A familiar logo or a current website header does not establish that every linked document has been updated.
| Check | What to do with a mismatch |
|---|---|
| Year or edition | Keep the older guide for background only |
| Dates and hours | Use the current organiser listing and resolve any remaining conflict with the organiser |
| Halls and access | Plan from the current venue information, rather than an old entrance diagram |
The visitor page groups the brand directory, products, admission policy and travel information separately. Follow the link that answers your actual question. A brand listing does not establish admission eligibility; a product image does not establish stock on the day.
Make a visit note rather than a shopping forecast
Save the current event page and shortlist the exhibitors you want to find. Beside each, leave room for the stand number and a question you want answered. That makes a short visit easier to use without assuming every brand shown in a previous edition will attend again.
For the journey, start with the hall and entrance you need. Knownable's ADNEC arrival guide explains that planning sequence. It complements the event listing; it does not replace the organiser's admission instructions.
No purchase, valuation, authenticity assessment or resale recommendation is made here. The useful outcome is a visit planned from the correct edition.
