Dubai · Vol. 01 · Registration open

The room where founders say what they actually think.

A talkshow for the people building in the GCC. Founders and CXOs in real conversation, sharp points of view, case studies with the numbers left in, and an hour built for the introductions that actually matter.

The format

Four parts, one evening.

Built the way we would want to attend: less stage, more conversation, and an hour protected for the part everyone actually came for.

01

The Chair

One founder, one long conversation. No slides, no pitch deck, and no moderator steering it back to safe ground.

45 min
02

Point of View

Six minutes each, one argument, no hedging. The takes people usually only share once the recording stops.

30 min
03

In Practice

A real campaign or build opened up: the numbers, the decisions behind them, and the part that did not work.

30 min
04

The Room

Structured networking with actual introductions, rather than a scrum around the canapes.

60 min
Who is in the room

People who build things.

We keep it small on purpose. Sixty people who run teams, budgets and brands across the UAE and the wider GCC — close enough that a conversation can actually start.

The line-up is being built now.

We are choosing speakers for the strength of the argument rather than the size of the following. If you have a point of view worth defending in a room of founders, put your name forward when you register.

Registration

Request your seat.

  • Free to attend. We curate the room rather than sell seats, so this is a request for a place, not a checkout.
  • You hear it first. Registrants get the confirmed date and venue before either goes public.
  • Speak, if you want to. Tell us your topic and we will come back to you about a slot.
  • No list-selling. Your details are used for this event and future AdVybe events. Nothing else, and never passed on.

Register your interest

Takes under a minute. We reply to every registration.

Seats are confirmed by email. If the room fills, we will offer you the next volume first.

Questions

Before you register.

Is there a ticket price?

No. The Vybe Room is free to attend by registration. We curate the room rather than sell seats, so registering is a request for a place rather than a purchase.

Who is it actually for?

Founders, CXOs and senior operators building in the UAE and the wider GCC. If you run a team, a P&L or a brand, you will find your people in the room.

Can I speak?

Yes. Pick “Interested in speaking” when you register and tell us your topic in the notes. We choose for the strength of the argument, not the size of the following.

Will it be recorded?

The talkshow segments are filmed and cut for social, and every speaker sees their cut before it goes out. The networking hour stays off the record.

What if I am not based in Dubai?

Volume 01 is Dubai. Register anyway and choose “Venue or partner enquiry” if you would like to host a future volume in your city.
