GITEX GLOBAL, the largest tech & startup show in the world, is gearing up to make its grand return to Dubai for its 44th edition from 14-18 October 2024. Following massive success with a record-breaking edition in 2023, this year’s event promises to be even more monumental.
From insightful conferences to certified workshops to meaningful networking sessions, attendees can expect to take away great value from the world’s largest tech and startup extravaganza. This blog looks at what to expect from this year’s show…
AI at the Forefront
AI is a priority for businesses and governments in the GCC region and it is well reflected at GITEX Global. ‘This is The Year To Imagine AI in Everything’ was the theme of the show last year, and this year is likely to be no different.
There are several AI-related expectations from GITEX Global this year, and the show doesn’t seem to be going to disappoint. The tradeshow is set to host the largest and most innovative AI companies from around the globe, along with researchers, inventors and academia who are keen to discover the latest developments in AI technology. In addition to seeing cutting-edge AI innovations, there are a number of keynote sessions on the agenda diving deep into AI-related topics such as AI in blockchain, AI and robotics and how the EU AI act can impact tech startups.
What’s New?
This year’s GITEX Global is set to have a number of new industry programmes, cybersecurity experts, and keynote speakers from leading brands confirmed for this year’s edition.
GITEX Editions 2024: Aligning itself with Dubai’s ambition to be the home of 30 start-up unicorns by 2030, GITEX Global 2024 will launch GITEX Editions, the region's most impactful gathering for fostering strategy, created to accelerate scale and global governance for high-growth companies.
Cybersecurity Conference Programme: The tradeshow will see Cybersecurity taking centre stage with true stories from the trenches, AI-driven live hacks and fierce CISO debates.
