About the event
The region's defining technology exhibition, moving to Expo City Dubai for its December 2026 edition.
GITEX is less a conference than the week the regional technology economy assembles in one place: enterprises, governments, vendors, startups and investors, at a density nothing else in the Middle East reaches. Treating it as an AI conference misreads it. The 2026 edition is the first at Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City after more than four decades at the Dubai World Trade Centre site, and it reunites GITEX with Expand North Star on a single campus.
