This spring brings with it a much needed breath of fresh air for the events industry. With a swift vaccine rollout underway, Dubai has emerged at the forefront of countries looking to rejuvenate a tourism industry still drowsy from its pandemic-induced hibernation - coming out on top as one of the most open travel destinations this year.

This, coupled with a growing reputation as a financial and tech hub for the emerging digital world - including having been amongst the first to champion Blockchain technology, has allowed the emirate to attract interest from businesses and entrepreneurs focussed on exploring new niches in innovation and economic diversification.

It is fitting then, that this will be the location of choice not only for the company’s first in-person events of 2021, but for our first major expos to be held outside of Malta. Dubai’s friendly people, Blockchain and financial ecosystem, tourist attractions and connectivity make it an ideal host city for AIBC.

Like most other businesses out there our plans have undoubtedly been shaped by the current pandemic. Restrictions meant that we had to make the tough decision to rethink our original calendar of events which were launched last year.

In addition to finding success in the virtual realm with a series of online conferences, our efforts in the midst of a pandemic have paid off and we’re excited to step back into the real world. The industry has certainly been craving another conference, and we feel the time is right to step up our game and forge ahead with an ambitious plan for two supershows.
