Calendar of Digital Marketing Events, Conferences, Summits, Seminars and Workshops in UAE in 2017
The following list of events is mostly related to digital marketing but there’s a few in there that relate to broader but related topics such as Design, Technology, Startups and Business – this is deliberate as the region does not yet have a full calendar year of digital marketing events so where applicable, I’ve added events that are somewhat related.
Dubai will have the lion’s share of events in this calendar but I’m hoping 2017 is where we see Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and other emirates become hosts for a variety of digital and tech events and conferences.
Let me know about any events, conferences, summits, seminars and workshops I’ve missed – twitter or use the form on my homepage.
