More than 16,000 attendees and over 270 exhibitors filled the floor at Forex Expo Dubai 2026, held at Dubai World Trade Centre. The strong opening comes weeks after Dubai was ranked the world's number one location for FinTech in the latest Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI). Keynotes and panel discussions across five stages drew packed audiences, while busy exhibition booths kept the halls buzzing as the global trading industry came together to connect and do business. Attendees explored market trends, trading strategies, technology and business growth through focused sessions. Among Day 1's conference highlights was a fireside chat featuring Paul Dawalibi, CEO of Innovation City, titled Where Capital Meets Innovation: Building the UAE's Next Growth Ecosystem, which explored how emerging hubs are connecting founders, technology and global investment.
