A city of skyscrapers, beaches and big business. AIBC Eurasia 2025 is just around the corner, and once again we’re heading to the cosmopolitan emirate of Dubai, one of seven emirates making up the Middle Eastern melting pot that is the UAE. Taking place at Festival Arena by the Festival City Dubai, the summit delivers an engaging, fully packed agenda filled with expert-led conference workshops, masterclasses, and panels, high-value opportunities to connect with investors and engage with businesses from tier one markets, and unmissable networking that blends leisure with business seamlessly. 

To help you navigate all the best moments, here’s a handy guide to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

Plan your trip

Visiting Dubai for the first time? The Plan Your Trip page is designed to help make your stay a breeze. From hotel recommendations to travel tips, we’ve done the research so you don’t have to! We´re also hosting several relaxing yoga sessions with master instructor Allaoua Gaham as well as activities including diving and waterpark experiences – so pack accordingly. Visit our agenda to find out how you can participate.

The city has come a long way since its days as a small fishing village. From the lush banks of the creek and soft sweeping sand dunes to bastions of modern architecture, such as the Burj Khalifa, Dubai is a location just waiting to make memories. And with so many of our networking events taking place here, it should be your first port of call when it comes to accommodation. 

Ensure your passport is valid, and be sure to check whether you require a visa to enter the country by checking out the Visa Information section on our website.
