GISEC ran from 16 to 18 September 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre. The event combined an exhibition and conference week for the region’s cybersecurity sector.
The show sits within a busy autumn programme at DWTC. Coatings, travel, food manufacturing, construction and GITEX are also part of the wider schedule, making Dubai a concentrated destination for business events.
A procurement stop before GITEX
Gulf ministries, banks and operators use the three-day expo to shortlist security operations centre tools, identity systems and critical-infrastructure defence. The format gives these buyers a physical setting for comparisons that would otherwise rely only on remote requests for proposals.
For exhibitors, GISEC is the last major Middle East information-security floor before GITEX Global’s broader technology week in December at Expo City Dubai. That sequence helps companies separate specialist cybersecurity discussions from the wider technology agenda.
The event connects exhibitions, conferences and trade show intelligence across Information Technology, Security and Telecommunications. It also adds Dubai to the international trade shows calendar for suppliers seeking access to Gulf decision-makers.
