What’s this event all about?
Welcome!

Through our events in Stockholm, Dubai, Singapore, and Melbourne, and our media channel hyperight.com, we help organizations across the world navigate through the technology hype and find practical ways to accelerate their advanced analytical capabilities and stay competitive in the Digital and AI Economy.
Data Innovation Summit MEA is constructed so it equally addresses all the elements of data-driven and AI-innovative business: data, people, processes, and technology. The event is built to be both business and technical, practical and inspirational, realistic and futuristic, educational and exciting, regional and global, live and digital, general and niched, inspiring and influential. It showcases some of the best data-driven innovative projects, products, business ideas, and technologies, presented by some of the most advanced and innovative organizations in the world.
Interactive
Panels
This year’s panels are going to focus on ways to maximize the ROI of advanced analytics initiatives by moving from the “wall of POC” and experimentation to industrialization. Human-Centered Data and AI Innovation and Ethics are two additional topics that will be covered on the panels. The duration of the panels is 45 minutes. The panelists come from both the public and private sectors, academia, as well as technology providers.
Networking
Program
Over and over again delegates are asking for more networking time. In this edition, we are introducing new features that will increase the opportunity for you to meet and network with the delegates. We will start the conference with a 30-minute speed networking session and time to explore the venue setup. You will also have the opportunity to meet the exhibitors, find a coffee buddy, enjoy a night out with your peers and new contacts, and have a coffee with them.
The latest Demos in the
Expo Area
As technology is a great part of the topic area, it is natural that demonstrations of the latest technology advancements in the area should be part of the event features. On this year’s edition, we are bringing some of the leading technology and service providers in the area, some of them presenting their tools and services for the first time in the United Arab Emirates and the MEA region.

Several rooms for short workshops and master classes. The workshop is 100 minutes long and will provide training on various organizational, business, and technical topics. The rooms are at the same level as the venue and are limited to 23 people per crash-course session. The workshop access is limited to delegates who have purchased the add-on workshop feature.
