Preparations have commenced to relocate Gitex Global, together with Expand North Star, to its new home at Expo City Dubai next year.
Marking a fresh chapter in its journey, the prestigious international technology event will be held from 7th to 11th December 2026.
Dubai’s Shaikh Hamdan also directed the organisation of the world’s first and largest ‘TechCation’ experience at the event, blending technology and lifestyle through citywide activations.
The move is set to advance the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and strengthen the city’s position among the world’s top three urban economies.
After 45 years of firmly installing Dubai and the UAE as leaders on the global technology map, Gitex Global is set to reshape the international tech events calendar with a 2026 edition that introduces a new dimension of innovation, business, and lifestyle experiences.
TechCation, a next-generation fusion of creativity, discovery, and destination appeal, will debut at the event, reinforcing Dubai’s status as a premier global destination.
The event’s shift to December is a strategic repositioning that places Gitex at the heart of Dubai’s vibrant tourism season, offering international tech executives and investors a chance to explore the city’s distinctive social and cultural calendar, providing the perfect backdrop for more immersive and longer stays.
