GITEX GLOBAL 2026

GITEX GLOBAL 2026 runs from 7 to 11 December at the Dubai Exhibition Centre inside Expo City Dubai. Two things about that sentence are new.
This is the 46th edition and the first held outside Dubai World Trade Centre in 45 years. The event has also moved from its long-standing October slot into December. Anyone working from last year’s calendar will get both the date and the venue wrong.
The opening day, 7 December, is the GITEX Scale Summit, a leadership programme covering AI economies, policy and investment. The main exhibition floor runs 8 to 11 December.
GITEX is the largest technology exhibition in the Middle East and Africa and functions as the region’s principal meeting point for enterprise technology, government digital programmes and the AI infrastructure buildout. The scarcity of power and interconnection that constrains that buildout is the subject of our piece on the Crusoe valuation.
