Advisory Board Centre brings Megatrends Summit 2025 to Dubai
The Advisory Board Centre, a global professional body for advisory excellence, is set to host the Megatrends Summit 2025 in Dubai on November 18 at the Marriott Resort, Palm Jumeirah. The event will bring together governance and advisory experts from around the world to explore trends, best practices, and opportunities shaping the future of business, governance, and innovation across the GCC.
Following the success of last year’s inaugural Megatrends Summit in Singapore, the Dubai edition highlights the city’s role as a growing hub for transparency, accountability, and international best practices. The summit will feature thought leadership sessions, workshops, and roundtable discussions focused on governance, family businesses, investment, and the evolving role of trusted advisors.
“The advisory profession has grown five-fold over the past five years,” said Louise Broekman, Founding Director of the Advisory Board Centre. “Professionals in the Gulf are embracing new opportunities to apply their expertise in meaningful ways. Hosting the Summit in Dubai provides the perfect platform for regional and global leaders to exchange knowledge, explore trends, and influence the future of advisory boards.”
Udo Doring, CEO of the Advisory Board Centre, added: “This is a golden opportunity to engage with leaders shaping the sector, connect with advisors influencing the direction of policy and business, and gain insights to advance roles in the evolving advisory board ecosystem.”
To meet growing regional demand for professional development, the Advisory Board Centre will also offer two training programs during the week of the summit: the Advanced Facilitation Skills Program and the Certified Chair™ Executive Program. Advisory professionals and those interested in entering the field are encouraged to attend.
The summit will conclude with a high-level networking event, giving participants exclusive opportunities to build strategic connections and foster collaboration across advisory and governance communities in the GCC.
