GITEX GLOBAL, the world’s premier tech and startup showcase, has officially unveiled GITEX TechCation 2026, set to redefine the global technology event landscape. From December 7–11 at Expo City Dubai, the citywide immersive experience will unite leading tech innovators, startups, investors, and global business leaders under one roof, though this time, the “roof” extends across the vibrant, future-ready city of Dubai. Backed by the Dubai World Trade Centre and the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, the event reinforces Dubai’s ambitious vision to rank among the world’s top three global cities by 2033.
Trixie LohMirmand highlighted the transformative approach, saying, “GITEX TechCation represents a fundamental reconfiguration of global tech events, rewriting the playbook on how the world’s tech community connects, celebrates, and innovates. By moving beyond conventional halls and harnessing the full energy of Dubai’s culture, lifestyle, and spirit, GITEX advocates an ethos of ‘Tech Hard, Live Hard’ through the most immersive citywide activations imaginable.”
His Excellency Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing, added, “GITEX has always been more than a tech show. This new era, guided by Dubai’s visionary leadership, blends innovation with the city’s unmatched lifestyle. GITEX TechCation 2026 will further cement Dubai as a premier destination for both business and leisure, while empowering the global tech community to forge new partnerships and opportunities in alignment with the Dubai Economic Agenda, D33.”
By combining cutting-edge AI demonstrations, startup showcases, immersive experiences, and citywide activations, GITEX TechCation 2026 promises to deliver a one-of-a-kind convergence of technology, culture, and business innovation. Attendees can expect a holistic experience that seamlessly merges professional growth, networking, and cultural immersion, establishing Dubai not only as a global tech hub but also as a lifestyle capital for innovators and visionaries.
This bold, future-focused approach signals that GITEX TechCation 2026 is poised to be the most dynamic, globally significant tech and AI event yet, setting a new benchmark for innovation, engagement, and city-scale experiences.
