The AIMA Middle East Forum 2026 is a half-day, invitation-only event held in Dubai that brings together allocators, fund managers, regulators, and fintech leaders across the alternative investment sector.

For more than 20 years, AIMA has been active in the UAE, monitoring its emergence as a global financial hub not only in alternative investments but across the broader asset management sector.

Returning for its second year, this half-day forum will examine the key issues influencing alternative asset managers in the UAE and the wider regional alternatives ecosystem, catering to both local participants and those seeking to explore the market’s potential. The event provides a unique opportunity to gain insights from the region’s policymakers and investors on their priorities and interests for 2026.
