About the conference

Following a VIP Opening Ceremony on day one, a comprehensive programme of keynote conference sessions and round table discussions will take place alongside the exhibition.

The full programme is now being compiled by the Steering Committee to reflect the theme 'building knowledge based economies - from vision to sustainable realisation'. The Committe comprises senior experts from ADSIC, ADWEA, Injazat and Mubadala and we thank them for their work in advising topics, inviting speakers and supporting the Summit.

Host your own round table discussion. We are now accepting applications from industry experts wishing to host a round table discussion. Find out more here.

Conference format

Each morning keynote conference sessions will give 1,000 delegates the opportunity to hear from leading industry experts addressing issues of strategy and implementation.

Each afternoon, a programme of round table discussions will give delegates the opportunity to tackle topics in depth, discuss  applications and ask questions in small groups.

Each afternoon, expert workshops will take place for delegates interested in areas perhaps too niche or technical for the keynote conference sessions.
