Planning your travel to Dubai for a business event
If you are planning to travel to Dubai for a business event, you are heading to one of the most accessible and internationally connected cities in the world. The World Entrepreneur & Investor Summit takes place at the Millennium Airport Hotel, Dubai, United Arab Emirates on 19 November 2026, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This page offers general, practical guidance to help you plan a smooth trip — while leaving the official specifics to the authoritative sources that keep them current.
Because entry rules, flight schedules, and local services can change, we deliberately keep this guidance general. For anything specific — visa and entry requirements, flight options, or hotel arrangements — please verify directly with official UAE government and immigration authorities, your airline, and the venue. Treat the notes below as a starting point for your own planning, not as official travel advice.
Important: Always confirm current visa and entry requirements with the official UAE authorities and your airline before you travel. Requirements vary by nationality and can change.
Getting there
Arriving in Dubai
Timing your arrival
The summit is a full day. Many international guests arrive at least a day ahead to rest, adjust, and be ready for a productive day of sessions and networking.
Verify before you fly
Confirm entry requirements, travel documents, and flight details with official UAE authorities and your airline. Requirements differ by nationality and can change.
Getting around the city
Dubai offers a range of transport options for visitors moving between accommodation, meetings, and the summit venue. As a general rule, plan your local journeys in advance — particularly your route to the Millennium Airport Hotel, Dubai on the morning of the event — and allow extra time so you arrive relaxed. For current services, routes, and timings, check official local transport sources during your visit.
The summit venue is chosen partly for its accessibility, which helps international guests keep their travel simple around a single, focused business day. If you have specific questions about reaching the venue on the day, the event team is happy to help where we can, and the venue page has more on the location.
When to arrive and how long to stay
The summit runs from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on 19 November 2026, followed by next-step networking opportunities. To get the most from the day, we suggest arriving the day before so you are settled and can be present from the opening session. If your schedule allows, consider staying an extra day — Dubai's role as a global business hub means there is often value in extending a trip to hold meetings or explore opportunities in the region.
Whatever your plans, book your travel and accommodation early. Dubai is a busy destination, and confirming arrangements ahead of time gives you more choice and a calmer run-up to the event.
Make it count
Making the most of your business trip
Come ready to connect
Networking is central to the summit. Arrive with a clear idea of who you want to meet and what you hope to explore, so introductions turn into real conversations.
Plan around the agenda
Review the programme ahead of time and note the sessions most relevant to your goals, from founder panels to investor insight sessions and startup pitching.
Extend the value
Consider building in time for meetings or market exploration while you are in Dubai. A well-planned trip can deliver value well beyond the event day itself.

A note on promises and specifics
We are careful about what we claim. This page is general guidance to support your planning, not official travel, visa, or immigration advice. The authoritative sources — official UAE government and immigration authorities for entry rules, your airline for flights, and the hotel for accommodation and venue specifics — are always the ones to trust for current, accurate information.
When you are ready to confirm your place, note that ticket prices are not published online. Share a few details on the book tickets page and the event team will send participation options and next steps.
Please note: This event is designed for business professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate decision-makers. Student registrations are not accepted.
