Dubai gets silicon-valley vibes for one weekend

What found its legs as a series of workshops has grown into Dubai’s largest tech festival, which this year aims to showcase 300 global startups, and welcomes global investors and thousands of attendees.

If you’re hoping to network: Be on the lookout for the new app, STEP Match. A seriously smart feature that allows attendees to view, chat and book 1-on-1 meetings with their best matches at the event… What a way to relationship build and make new connections!

You can also expect a fantastic mix of talks and workshops, satellite events and meets-ups, (where STEP curates focused networking opportunities and meet-ups across various industries) exhibition areas, funky brand activations and bucketloads of entertainment.
