GITEX Global will move to the Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City Dubai for its 46th edition, scheduled for 7–11 December 2026. The relocation makes the venue change one of the main stories on the Gulf technology calendar.
The event opens with GITEX Summit and Scale Summit programming on 7 December. The exhibition floor will run from 8–11 December. DWTC has also listed a GITEX Global Summit window at its city campus around 4–8 December, giving organizers and visitors a second date range to track.
A larger setting for a global technology week
Organizers expect more than 200,000 attendees and about 6,800 exhibitors from over 180 countries. The program spans information technology, artificial intelligence and telecommunications, with startups and enterprise technology companies among the expected participants.
The move places GITEX after several major Dubai business events on the regional calendar. Big 5, Automechanika Dubai and ADIPEC will precede it, creating a concentrated run of international trade shows and exhibitions across the Gulf.
For buyers, exhibitors and organizers, the new address will be important for planning travel, logistics and meetings. XPO Times readers can use the event calendar to follow GITEX alongside other trade shows, conferences and expos.
