Dubai Business Events will now actively cooperate with UNICEO® by becoming a global partner and supporting the activities of the non-profit association based in Geneva.

This agreement allows Dubai to continue its positioning the destination during the Covid-19 crisis in the segment of corporate meetings and events, a strategic priority for the destination. By partnering with UNICEO®, Dubai will have direct access to key decision-makers for events at medium and large international companies, all potential customers for the destination especially when recovery arises.
