GITEX GLOBAL is set to reshape the global tech events calendar with an all-new 2026 edition that takes the world’s largest tech and AI show to a new dimension of innovation, business, and lifestyle experiences.
After 45 years of firmly installing Dubai and the UAE on the global leadership map, GITEX makes its landmark move to Expo City Dubai, from 7-11 December in 2026, unveiling the world’s most fabulous TechCation, a next-generation fusion of innovation, discovery, and destination, with Dubai ranked the number one global destination in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Destinations Awards 2024.
The shift to December is a strategic repositioning that places GITEX at the heart of Dubai’s vibrant tourism season; offering the international tech executives and investors in attendance a chance to explore the city’s distinctive lifestyle and cultural calendar, providing the perfect backdrop for more immersive and longer stays. Beyond the show floor, GITEX TechCation unfolds across the entire city – transforming Dubai into a live, connected convergence of business, technology, and lifestyle.
GITEX closely collaborates with the Dubai Department of Economy & Tourism, along with leading entities and stakeholders representing sports and wellness, hospitality, eco-tourism, and lifestyle sectors to create memorable staycation programmes.
