Dell Technologies Forum UAE 2026 will take place in Dubai on October 15, with discussions focused on scaling AI, modernizing infrastructure and building more resilient digital environments.
The event will bring together business and technology leaders to examine how organizations can scale AI, modernize infrastructure and support more demanding digital and AI-driven workloads.
Key themes will include sovereign AI and trusted data. Dell Technologies said discussions will focus on greater control over data, infrastructure, governance and compliance, especially as sovereignty, privacy and regulatory requirements shape technology decisions in the UAE. The Forum will also examine how organizations can operate AI securely, responsibly and effectively across the business.
“As conversations around sovereign AI, cyber resilience and trusted data become more important across the Middle East region, Dell Technologies Forum Dubai will help customers focus on the decisions that matter – how to modernize with confidence, reduce complexity and build technology environments that can support long-term business value.”

Cyber resilience by design
Cyber resilience will also be a key theme. Dell Technologies said data protection, recovery, security and governance should be embedded across infrastructure, devices and AI environments from the start. The event will also cover AI-ready workplaces and intelligent devices, including how modern endpoints and AI PCs can support productivity, collaboration and security.
Walid Yehia, Managing Director – South Gulf at Dell Technologies, said organizations in the UAE are now focusing on whether their infrastructure, data, devices, security and governance foundations are ready to support AI at scale.
The focus comes as AI investment accelerates in the UAE, with IDC forecasting spending to reach $5.78 billion by 2029.
