About Our Event

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is home to awe-inspiring architecture, exceptional designs, and creativity that beyond words.

Next month, Dubai will host the COP28 Conference. The UAE COP28 is an excellent opportunity to rethink, reboot, and refocus the climate agenda. The United Arab Emirates is a global logistics, transportation, design, green technology, business, trade, and tourism centre. The country is particularly placed to build partnerships and develop consensus in order to advance inclusive climate progress. Climate technology, the Global Stocktake, sustainability, and other critical agenda items will be covered.

The Design Forum 2023 will provide attendees with an opportunity to network and explore some intriguing industry subjects such as how COP28 will effect the design and architecture in the region and should designer and architects be worried of AI?
