Forex Expo Dubai has confirmed a new lineup of dedicated programmes for verified traders and introducing brokers ahead of its 2026 edition, alongside an expanded roster of sponsors. The two-day event returns to Dubai World Trade Centre on 22 and 23 September 2026, bringing together the global forex and trading community under one roof.
Expanding the Expo Experience
Preparations for the 2026 edition are moving into their final phase, with organisers pointing to a broader attendee mix and a wider spread of confirmed exhibitors from across the forex and trading industry. The programme upgrades reflect what organisers describe as a shift in how traders and business professionals want to spend their time on the show floor.
Confirmed exhibitors at the Super Elite tier include GTCFX, Valetax, Xchief, Funding Pips and Honor Financial. The Elite sponsor list adds EC Markets, TMGM, MetaQuotes, JustMarkets, FP Markets, PU Prime, Dprime, Funded Firm, VPFX, Aegeanlabs Software LLC, Eplanet, SGFX, FortressFX, UEXO, Moneta Markets and CXM. The mix of retail brokers, prop firms, technology providers and funded trader platforms mirrors how the region's online trading landscape has broadened in recent years.
Personalized Programmes for Traders and IBs
Verified traders attending Forex Expo Dubai 2026 will gain access to a dedicated seminar track, the Traders Lounge, and a Traders Clinic that offers one on one guidance from market experts. Registered traders can pre book meetings with exhibitors before arriving on site and take up exclusive onboarding offers from selected brokers.
Introducing brokers have their own track. The dedicated IB Programme is built around face to face meetings with brokers, side by side comparison of rebate structures and direct conversations about partnership terms. An IB Lounge and separate IB seminar sessions round out the offer, giving affiliates a quieter space to work through deals and hear how peers are building their networks.
More Room for Business Conversations
Alongside the trader and IB tracks, the show floor will feature private meeting zones for one to one business discussions, networking lounges, coffee areas and interactive experiences spread across the two days. Side events before and after the main expo are planned to extend the window for deals and introductions beyond the two show days themselves.
"We've seen a clear shift in what attendees expect from industry events," said Niyaz Mohammed, Commercial Director at HQMENA. "People still come to discover new products and meet brokers, but they're also looking for more focused learning and higher quality business interactions. These new programmes have been introduced to create dedicated environments where traders and introducing brokers can engage in conversations that are directly relevant to their goals."
What the Sponsor Lineup Signals
The 2026 sponsor sheet reads as a snapshot of where the retail forex industry is putting its budget. Prop trading and funded trader brands sit next to established multi asset brokers, and technology names such as MetaQuotes share top billing with regional platforms. For traders and IBs walking the floor, that means direct access to decision makers from firms that rarely appear in the same room outside of a marquee event.
Dubai continues to serve as the anchor city for regional trading events, helped by a concentration of licensed brokerages, payment providers and fintech operators headquartered in the UAE. Organisers say the expanded programme is intended to keep pace with a maturing audience that increasingly treats industry expos as working events rather than showcases.
