GITEX Global 2026 opens a new chapter — its first edition at Expo City Dubai, the largest venue in the show's 40-plus-year history, with organizers projecting north of 6,800 exhibitors and 200,000-plus attendees from 180 countries. Expect the intelligence-economy thesis that dominated 2025 to harden into deployment: sovereign AI, agentic systems, and government-led policy, anchored by the GITEX Scale Summit and co-located tracks spanning cybersecurity, cloud, 5G, smart cities, quantum, and Web3. This is where national digital agendas get signed — 2025 alone produced record public-private partnerships, from AI-workforce training pacts to municipal smart-city rollouts. The center of gravity: who controls AI infrastructure, data, and governance.
ConvCast trains its cameras on the marquee keynotes and ministerial dialogues, the cybersecurity halls where autonomous-defense vendors stage their reveals, and the startup floor at North Star. We chase the live product launches, the deal-making momentum, and the one trend to watch — agentic AI moving from demo to enterprise deployment.
ConvCast covers the world’s biggest tech and industry conventions with original photography, video, and reporting from the show floor. See the full calendar of 168+ tracked shows, or explore all events.
