Conferences for founders in Dubai

10 upcoming startup conferences for founders & investors in Dubai. Curated events across Asia.

The Gulf's two biggest founder conferences land back-to-back in Dubai this Q4. Dubai AI Festival (Oct 26) draws 500+ investors and 20,000+ attendees under Sheikh Hamdan's patronage. Then GITEX week (Dec 7) and co-located Expand North Star bring 2,000+ startups and $1.1T in investor AUM, with 5,000+ pre-booked meetings across three days. Before that run, AI Tinkerers has a builder hackathon Sep 12 and a demo day in October.

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