A collaboration between PlanX Conference 2026 and 24six9 Dubai Chapter where we're bringing you Idea Lab on the Growth Stage.
Idea Lab is the 24six9 meet-up where founders put an idea on the table and open it up to the room. No polished decks, no rehearsed pitches [or you can rehearse if you like]. Just a raw concept shared with a group of peers who will dig into it from EVERY angle.
The goal isn’t just validation, but clarity. Surface the weaknesses while they’re still cheap to fix, find the blind spots, and walk away knowing whether you’re onto something - or onto something even better than you thought.
Oh, and sometimes the best part is who you end up building with might be in that very room wink wink
Want to be that Brave Pitcher bringing their idea/concept into the light? Fill out this form by November 21, 2026, 2pm: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/qABu5LiuR7
Rules of the game:1. Pitch verbally or with a slide deck and tell us all what you've been stuck on with your concept2. You will have 4-mins to pitch and 6-mins of feedback3. Gentle reminder: Your idea/concept should be in the tech/deep-tech/AI & Innovation realm4. You'll be asked, before you start, what you're looking for
Just want to be part of the feedback loop? Register right here on Luma.
Who should attend:Founders, aspiring founders, failed founders, investors, and overall curious minds in tech - come ready.
