A Brief Background

The Institute of Directors (IOD), India has a long presence in UAE and we have been hosting one of our annual Dubai Global Conventions in Dubai (UAE) for the last 14 years focusing on Leadership, Business Excellence, Creativity & Innovation and also a Global Business Meet to bring together a large number of business and industry leaders from various countries, also Govt. officials from UAE, India, Middle East, UK, Europe, USA and few other countries to discuss and deliberate upon various critical global issues connected with boardroom and also to explore business partnerships / collaborations and supply chains. Generally, around 500 delegates attend over 3-4 days. The Annual Meets have been increasingly successful for us, as recognized by both the Govts.

This year’s annual (Tristar) IOD-UAE Global Convention-2024’ on Leadership & Excellence along with a ‘Global Business Meet’, is being hosted in Abu Dhabi, followed by a few sessions at Dubai

Each time, we have the privilege of welcoming new leaders and experts to share their insights and wisdom with our community.

The theme of this year's Convention is ‘Board’s Strategy for a future-ready Business in an uncertain World’. On this occasion, the famed ‘Golden Peacock Awards’ for Leadership, Quality, Training, Innovation & Business Excellence will also be conferred.

Today, India and the UAE enjoy robust ties across diverse platforms. Both have further strengthened and deepened its cooperation in a range of areas, including trade and investment, energy security and defence.
