The CFA Society Emirates has announced its plans to host the Investment Conference for the Middle East and North Africa in Abu Dhabi on September 30 and October 1, 2025.
This year’s event marks the seventh edition, solidifying its status as a key gathering for financial leaders, policymakers, and institutional investors from around the globe, and reinforcing the UAE’s role as a hub for investment dialogue and innovation.
Attendance for the 2025 edition is projected to exceed 500 participants, featuring more than 30 distinguished speakers. This dynamic environment will promote the exchange of ideas and investment experiences. The conference will focus on significant topics including artificial intelligence, innovation, financial markets, and family offices.
Keynote speakers and participants will examine the influence of artificial intelligence, macroeconomic transformations, and private equity on redefining value creation, investment strategies, and regulatory frameworks both regionally and globally.
Over two days, the conference will bring together CEOs, senior executives, organizers, asset managers, family office representatives, venture capitalists, and academics for discussions, workshops, and high-level networking opportunities.
One of the highlight events this year will be an exclusive panel discussion featuring Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, who will share his insights on economic cycles, global risk dynamics, and strategies for building resilience in an increasingly uncertain financial environment.
