ICEF Dubai

ICEF Dubai experiences the full energy of an industry in recovery
With restrictions gradually lifting, the resounding success of ICEF Dubai 2022 was no surprise.
The in-person format of this popular hybrid event was sold out weeks before – reflecting great anticipation for our industry’s recovery. Attendance was a huge 67% increase over the previous event.
With a focus on recruiting students from the Middle East and North Africa, 510 individuals representing 213 industry organisations from 40 countries held a total of 4,020 in-person and virtual meetings over the course of four days.

100% of survey respondents say they’re coming back in 2023
We are very proud to announce that we did not disappoint our enthusiastic community – they came looking for recovery and we gave them results.
- A total of 80% of attendants came with the primary aim of meeting new partners.
- Of those, 90% said they had already been successful in achieving their goal.
- 100% of our survey respondents rated ICEF Dubai 2022 as good or excellent.
- And everyone (100%) said they will be returning to ICEF Dubai in 2023.
Programme & Seminars
In addition to the one-to-one meetings, ICEF events are also an opportunity to gain deeper understanding into different aspects of our industry.
At ICEF Dubai we presented a programme of 17 live and hybrid seminars, webinars and panel discussions, including: ICEF Agent Voice – a survey of global agent opinions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Market Focus on Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan and Egypt.
Delegates can continue to enjoy these presentations, on-demand, for up to four weeks after the event.
