EDGE Dubai Advanced

This event is open to senior meeting professionals and previous EDGE Seminar attendees. It is open to both IAPCO members and non-members.

The event website will go live soon but we encourage you to register your interest to attend now in order to avoid missing the limited spots available. 

Please note that we are closely monitoring the situation in Dubai and the wider Middle East in relation to the upcoming EDGE Advanced Seminar in September. At this stage, it is too early to draw conclusions, but developments are being kept under regular review and IAPCO remains in close contact with relevant partners and local stakeholders.

The safety and wellbeing of all participants, partners and faculty remain the priority. The situation will continue to be assessed carefully with stakeholders over the coming weeks and months, and updates will be shared as appropriate. IAPCO remains hopeful for de-escalation and a stable environment for the successful delivery of EDGE Advanced in September.

Global Socio-Political Impact Survey  Update 2026

A number of the leading organisations of the global meetings and events industry have joined forces again, to better understand the direct short- and long-term impacts of current global unrest, conflict and geo-political changes and to compare with results from a similar body of research conducted in 2025.

IAPCO, PCMA, ICCA, AIPC, IFES and AMCI have authored this survey to gather data from a combined global network of meetings and events professionals and organisations.

The survey results will be used to understand how geo-political policy changes impact our global industry and to assess their impact year-on-year.

Thank you in advance for your participation and support.
