FINAL CALL  |  22 OCTOBER 2026  |  JW MARRIOTT MARINA, DUBAI

Hello #name#,

This is your final call. Don't hear about AIRF 2026 second-hand.

On 22 October, 200+ senior AI, technology and business leaders gather in Dubai to answer one question: how do you move from the UAE's Agentic AI mandate to measurable business momentum? If you're going to be in that room, now is the time to lock in your place.

3 REASONS TO BE THERE

Why senior leaders are showing up

► Hear it from those who've shipped. Leaders from FAB, Emirates NBD, Careem, Al-Futtaim, Pure Health and Al Tayer Insignia on what broke first and what scaled.
► Benchmark yourself. See how peers are budgeting, governing and scaling agents under the UAE's two-year clock, and how much autonomy they're actually giving them.
► Work it out live. Join the interactive masterclass, The Final Gap: What still needs to happen before 2028?

QUESTIONS YOU'LL LEAVE ANSWERING

Walk in with doubts. Walk out with a plan.

✓ What are enterprises ready to hand over to AI agents today?
✓ What infrastructure, governance and operating models do you need to scale?
✓ What could the next two years mean for your organisation?
