AHK Inter-Council Networking Event 2026 in Dubai

About the Inter-Council Networking Event

Business councils are among the best-connected communities in the UAE, and this evening brings several of them together in one room. The Inter-Council Networking Event, hosted by the German Emirati Joint Council for Industry and Commerce (AHK UAE), invites members of a number of UAE business councils, along with professionals from across the country, for an evening of conversation and connection at Embassy Suites by Hilton Dubai Business Bay.

Events like this are valuable precisely because they cross the usual boundaries. Rather than meeting the same faces from your own chamber or council, you get to mix with people from different national business communities, sectors and backgrounds, all in a relaxed after-work setting.

What to expect

This is a networking evening, so the focus is on meeting people rather than sitting through presentations. Both ticket types include two drinks and canapés. The official page does not name the specific councils taking part, but it describes the event as bringing together members of several UAE business councils and professionals from across the country.

The evening runs for two and a half hours, which is a comfortable length to work the room, catch up with existing contacts and make a few new ones.

Who it is for

The event will suit:

• Members of AHK UAE and other UAE business councils
• Business owners and senior professionals looking to widen their network beyond their own community
• Anyone new to the UAE market who wants an efficient introduction to the international business scene
• Professionals working in trade, consulting, finance, legal and other client-facing roles

How to attend

Tickets are booked through payment links on the official AHK UAE event page. Prices are:

• AED 190 for AHK members
• AED 295 for non-members

Both include two drinks and canapés. Use the official link on this listing to choose the right ticket. For questions, the event page lists Noelle Jipp at AHK UAE (noelle.jipp@ahkuae.com, +971 4 4470100) as the contact.

Good to know

• Dress code is business attire.
• Valet and self-parking are free at the venue, according to the organisers.
• Tickets include two drinks and canapés.
• As a tip, set yourself a small goal, such as three meaningful new conversations, rather than trying to meet everyone.
• As a general tip, follow up within a day or two while the conversation is still fresh. A short LinkedIn message works well.
