Trust, capital and partnership: building the next wave of technology growth in the Gulf

About the event

GITEX Global brings the world's technology industry to Dubai, and in 2026 it moves to Expo City Dubai. Away from the show floor, GCSx Dubai gathers a small, carefully selected group for an evening of candid conversation: founders and senior leaders of technology brands, regional investors and family offices, government and free-zone partners, and a few trusted media.

Why closed-door

The most valuable conversations at a trade show rarely happen on stage. GCSx Dubai keeps the room to 20–30 guests and holds the conversation under the Chatham House Rule, so every guest meets everyone else and leaves with real introductions, not just business cards.

Who is in the room

Founders and international business leaders of technology brands expanding into the Middle East
Investors, family offices and venture partners active in the Gulf
Government, free-zone and industry association leaders
Selected editors and Industry Voices covering technology and business in the region

What to expect

Curated introductions: the GCS team matches guests in advance, so every conversation has a purpose.
Leadership conversation: a short, off-the-record exchange on market entry, partnerships and building trust in the Gulf.
Time to connect: an unhurried, private setting designed for follow-up partnerships and deals.

How to join

Places are limited and confirmed by invitation. Register your interest and the GCS team will reply within 24 hours. The venue is shared with confirmed guests.

GCSx is the forum edition of Global Connect Show, held alongside the world's leading technology shows. Earlier GCSx editions in Berlin, London, New York, San Francisco and Hong Kong brought executives, investors and media together around the questions that shape global growth.
