Global Leaders Series
Convening the world's most influential business leaders across premier industry events.
Where dialogue creates direction.
Leadership dialogue at the center of the world's most influential industry events.
Organised by inD, an Informa/DWTC company in partnership with Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism, the Global Leaders Series convenes at the epicenter of the year's defining industry moments.
Global chief executives, ministers, and industry leaders gather to address the critical questions shaping their sectors. Throughout the year, at events where industries converge, those leading the conversations come together for candid dialogue about what's next - and the impact extends far beyond the room.
Main Stage Dialogues
The centerpiece of each edition, held at the heart of the event. Sector leaders engage in open, forward-looking conversations about the industry.
Leadership Dinners
Where the real conversation happens. Unscripted and intimate, the table replaces the stage, and authenticity replaces formality.
Government Meetings
Private sessions with the Dubai government stakeholders who turn intent into action. Arranged in advance and centered on tangible business opportunities, these meetings connect vision with decision making power.
Executive Breakfasts
Early, small and unhurried. Intimate, agenda-light gatherings where the day's most important conversations begin to take shape, before the main event unfolds.
A conversation that spans the year
Dubai hosts more of the world’s defining industry events than nearly any other city, consistently throughout the calendar year.
Each Global Leaders Series edition draws from its host event - the audience, energy and global attention - and adds a layer of leadership dialogue that elevates the experience.
Every edition brings a different set of industry leaders to the table. Sector by sector, the Series builds one continuous record of Dubai convening the people who shape the global economy.

Set inside the most important events of the year. One continuous conversation.
Dubai is where the world's industries come to meet.
Dubai has established itself as one of the world's leading destinations for international business, investment and innovation.
As a gateway connecting East and West, the city provides a trusted environment where governments, investors and industry leaders come together to explore new opportunities and accelerate growth.
The Dubai Global Leaders Series harnesses this unique position by convening influential decision-makers at the precise moments when their industries gather in the city.
Global Reach
Dubai hosts industry gatherings on a scale few cities can match, and the people who lead those industries travel with them. Home to some of the world's most influential industry gatherings and international business communities.
Public-Private Collaboration
A unique ecosystem where government and business work together to accelerate investment, innovation and economic growth.
Strategic Connectivity
A bridge between global markets, sectors and stakeholders, creating opportunities for dialogue and collaboration that extend far beyond the event itself.
The right leaders, the right questions, the right week.
There are three ways to take part in the Series.
Register your interest to speak
Speakers are invited to join a conversation with the leadership of their sector, on the questions their industry most wants answered. What is said is carried worldwide by global media partners, reaching audiences well beyond the event itself.
Join the conversation
Guests join a room kept deliberately small, alongside the leaders of their sector and the Dubai government representatives who work with it. The dinner, the breakfast and the government meetings are scheduled around the wider event programme, complementing a week already full of business.
Explore sponsor partnerships
A short list of partners is associated with the Series each year, one sector at a time. Association is with the conversation itself: the room, the record of it, and the city hosting both.
