Tips for this conference
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Choose the pass type that matches your role; application-only Guest and Investor passes have additional eligibility and approval requirements.
- Confirm whether you are registering as an attendee, speaker, poster presenter, exhibitor or scholarship/travel-grant applicant because deadlines can differ.
- For abstracts or papers, follow the exact theme, template, word limit, author format and publication rules from the official call.
- If travel is required, check invitation-letter timing, visa processing, accommodation and travel-support deadlines early.
- Review the agenda and speakers in advance and plan the sessions and people most relevant to your goals.
Verification notes
Verified 29 Aug 2026 UTC against the current Dubai AI Festival home and registration pages plus DIFC's 21 Apr 2026 official release. The latest home page and DIFC release both confirm 26–27 Oct 2026 at DWTC and registrations open. The registration page still contains a stale 'new dates to be announced' line, so the newer explicit dated sources were used for event dates.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
