DUBAI - THE IDEAL SETTING
FOR THE RETAIL SUMMIT
As the jewel in the GCC’s crown, Dubai serves as a hub for
the 2.2bn people who live less than a 4 hour flight away
from the Emirate.

The region has cultivated a vibrant melting pot of attractions. From the
world’s tallest building, its largest choreographed fountain, desert safaris,
drone taxis, and the striking bridges and snaking waterways of the canal,
Dubai has it all.

Dubai’s retail sector takes its inspiration from this unparalleled variety of
experiences. Which in turn provides the backdrop for 2 days of invigorating,
thought-provoking discussion and world-class content at The Retail Summit.
