Startup & tech events in Dubai

20 upcoming startup & tech events in Dubai: networking nights, founder meetups, pitch events, demo days & more. Updated daily.

Near-term Dubai is quiet — the big draws are all months out. This week, AstroLabs Members' Drinks (Jun 25) and Superteam's Solana ecosystem call (Jun 25) are the realistic picks, with the Founders Running Club meetup on Jun 27. The real reasons to plan around Dubai land in Q4: Dubai AI Festival on Oct 26, then GITEX Global and Expand North Star back-to-back on Dec 7–8 — the latter being the startup-and-investor half most founders actually fly in for.

One email every Monday: the Dubai events worth planning around. Hand-filtered, with the fine print. Nothing else, ever.
