The Dubai Advantage
Dubai isn’t just a venue—it’s a statement. A global city built on vision and ambition, it’s the perfect setting for this high-powered program. Over two days, you’ll find inspiration not just in the sessions, but in the dynamic energy of the city itself.
Limited Seats, Unmatched Value
This isn’t an open-ended event—it’s intentionally limited to 40 participants. Why? Because we value quality over quantity. Every session is designed for interaction, engagement, and tailored insights.
Why the Change? Moving from September to December
This event was initially scheduled for September 24-26 as a regional program, but we have shifted to December 9-11 to accommodate a broader, more inclusive global audience.
The decision to reschedule and reposition this event as the Global Final Round reflects our commitment to providing a truly international stage for enterprise strategy & architecture excellence. This change ensures that participants from around the world can come together in a central, dynamic location—Dubai.
Benefits of the Reschedule and New Location:
A Global Gathering in a Central Hub
Dubai’s strategic location makes it an ideal meeting point for participants from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Moving the final round here ensures easier access for global leaders, making the event more inclusive and representative of international perspectives.
Enhanced Participation Opportunities
Rescheduling the event to December allows for increased preparation time, ensuring that more project teams and individuals can participate. This extension provides additional time for fine-tuning submissions, thereby raising the overall quality of discussions and evaluations.
Building a Global Network
This change creates an opportunity to connect with a broader network of industry experts, thought leaders, and peers. The event’s new global focus aligns with our mission to drive enterprise strategy and architecture on an international scale.
