SiGMA reveals details for fifth anniversary edition of AIBC Eurasia in Dubai

The AIBC Eurasia summit is set to take place in Dubai from February 23 to 25 at the Festival Arena by InterContinental Hotel Dubai Festival City. First held in 2021, the three-day summit is set to celebrate its fifth anniversary this month.

Reflecting on the anniversary, SiGMA said that its Eurasia Dubai summit marked a "historic milestone" as the group’s first official event outside Malta and one of the few events still able to take place during the pandemic.

"At a time of great uncertainty globally, the emirate was key in providing the international community with stability, its doors remaining open to business, and, crucially, one of the only places to agree to host a large-scale event," said SiGMA.

Five years later, the event continues to grow. This year’s expanded floor plan accommodates 14,000 delegates – a significant leap from the 4,500 welcomed during the first show. 

SiGMA also noted that Dubai’s future-looking economic vision has "undoubtedly pushed the emirate to the forefront of the business world" with business-friendly regulation schemes, government support, and attractive taxation benefits. 

With the UAE ahead of the curve when it comes to frontier industries such as AI and Blockchain, the event offers entrepreneurs from across the globe opportunities to network and share ideas with like-minded delegates. 

The AIBC Pitch is also back, helping bring ideas to life, building relationships between investors and startups, and supporting the unicorn ambitions of new companies. The event will also celebrate the achievements of more established businesses at the AIBC Awards, to take place on the 23 of February. The program will shine a spotlight on the sector’s highest achievers in a gala evening, which also includes a charitable auction. 

As part of a strategic partnership with Affiliate World, their conferences will be held back-to-back with the Eurasia summit. This alignment enhances the event by giving operators access to a network of 5,000 super affiliates in the same location, says SiGMA. "By fostering this synergy, the collaboration bridges the gap with top-tier affiliates, enriching the experience for all attendees," according to a PR.

Delegates will benefit from "unparalleled networking opportunities," SiGMA noted, while operators gain valuable connections with key industry players. "This partnership elevates the event’s value, making it a must-attend occasion for anyone seeking to thrive in the sector," it added.

Earlier this week, SiGMA and Affiliate World announced an exclusive official party that will serve as the grand finale to the AIBC Eurasia event. To be held at entertainment destination PAPA Dubai, the event will also act as the opening for the Affiliate World conference, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

Open to all ticket holders, SiGMA says that this celebration “promises an unforgettable night” by blending luxury with entertainment. The event will take place on the last day of SiGMA Eurasia.
