Can’t make it to Dubai? You can still be part of the conversation.
We’re offering a virtual participation option for those who can’t attend in person but want to share their research, projects, or programs, exchange ideas, and connect with the global community.
The conference will take place in person at Heriot-Watt University Dubai, and we strongly encourage everyone who is able to join us on site. Being there in person offers the richest opportunities to connect, collaborate, and fully engage in the conference experience. At the same time, we recognise that travel to Dubai is not possible for everyone.
As a virtual delegate, you will:
- Attend dedicated online sessions held the day before the main conference, on Wednesday, March 25, 2026.
- Gain on-demand access to recordings of all three keynote presentations, offering world-class insights from leading thinkers.
This is your chance to participate in the conference from anywhere and still connect with the people and ideas shaping the field.
At this stage, the main conference program will not be available to virtual participants. If there is sufficient interest in virtual participation, we may be able to provide more of the conference program to virtual participants.
Want to present your work?
Submit an abstract (presentation proposal) and indicate the virtual option. If your abstract is approved, you will present on Zoom in one of the online sessions.
This is your opportunity to share your work with an international audience and engage with other participants in real time during the virtual day.
