About Dubai Tech Tuesdays in Dubai

Tech Tuesdays has now passed 120 editions, bringing founders, investors and tech professionals together every week at different venues around Dubai. It is hosted by Gordon Einstein with a wider team of co-hosts, and the organisers describe it as a high-level business and social event built around tech projects, ideas and networking.

Edition 121 lands at Belcanto, the restaurant inside Dubai Opera in Downtown Dubai, with a full evening programme that runs from early drinks to a late DJ set.

What to Expect

Gather and Socialise (7pm to 8pm)

The evening opens with an hour of mingling. The organisers note that traffic and parking can be tricky, so this first hour gives everyone time to arrive without rushing.

Executive Workshop: The Distinction of Commitment (7:15pm to 8pm)

Kamil Ravin, known as The Ascension Coach, works with founders and high performers. His session looks at how commitment differs from simply having a plan when it comes to building a successful business.

Speaker Presentations (8:30pm to 9:30pm)

Two founders take the stage. Zay Brown is CEO and founder of Brown & Ferguson, a luxury real estate brokerage in Dubai. Nathalia Salazar is CEO and founder of Your Agent Lab, an AI agency for local businesses.

Networking and Dinner (from 9:30pm)

After the talks, the focus shifts to conversation over dinner, which is where most of the real connections tend to happen.

Entertainment and Culture (10:30pm to 11:30pm)

Event partner Anastasiya Sola of AnaZim Project curates the closing hour, with a special guest DJ set by Kristina Zabelina.
