Gulf Dunes had the incredible opportunity to curate the 2025 DMC Network Exchange across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and what an incredible week it was!
This signature event brought together 100+ North American agencies and clients to experience the UAE from June 10-15. As ground partner, we handled every aspect of operations, orchestrating six days that demonstrated exactly why this region wows the global MICE conversation.
Our approach was strategic yet immersive. We designed this year’s Exchange around building meaningful connections, creating structured opportunities for attendees to network both within the industry and with our local partners. The program included immersive and cultural destination experiences with visits to renowned locations such as the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Centre for Cultural Understanding, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre, Burj Khalifa by Emaar and more.
We are grateful to Business Dubai Events, Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau, and our hotel partners – Atlantis The Palm, Atlantis The Royal, and The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal, for helping us deliver a program that raised the bar. What truly made it all so special was watching industry professionals from around the world connect, collaborate, and fall in love with what we get to call home. The energy was infectious, the connections were real, and the experiences, unforgettable.
