Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai will host the fourth edition of the Dubai Future Forum, the world’s largest gathering of futurists, at the Museum of the Future from November 18 to 19, 2025.
The event will welcome more than 2,500 participants from over 100 countries, including senior government officials, global experts, innovators, and academics. Over 200 speakers will lead 70 sessions exploring five key themes: Exploring the Unknown, Empowering Societies, Reimagining Health, Optimising Systems, and Foresight Insights.
In addition to the main sessions, more than 20 specialised workshops will be held in collaboration with government and academic partners, while seven interactive activations will allow visitors to experience the latest technologies in artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality.
The Forum will also mark the debut of the Dubai Foresight Awards, launched under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed. The awards will honour exceptional achievements in foresight across three categories: Foresight Change Makers, Foresight for People, and Foresight for the Planet.
His Excellency Mohammad bin Abdullah Al Gergawi, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Managing Director of Dubai Future Foundation, said the Forum has become a global platform for anticipating future transformations and strengthening foresight across key sectors.
Running alongside the Forum, the 11th edition of Dubai Future Solutions – Prototypes for Humanity will take place at AREA 2071, Emirates Towers, from November 17 to 20.
