STEP CONFERENCE, DUBAI INTERNET CITY, 11 & 12 FEBRUARY

[Terry Boyd]

STEP Conference started out as a small event and has grown during eight years into the biggest startup/tech event in Dubai. And as we all know, in Dubai the streets are lined with bags of gold waiting for promising teams.

Though it’s actually pretty small – 8,000 attendees – by Web Summit standards, Step is actually several conferences including a startup event. The sector categories are fintech, digital media, AI, transport, e-commerce and more at four conferences: STEP Start, STEP Digital, STEP X, and STEP Money. If you’re an Arabic speaker, this could be a very cool event. So we’re taking Toam Jaber from our Dispatches/Tier1 team.

This event has drawn some interesting mid-echelon speakers from Microsoft and Facebook, so this might be a good one to put in your calendar in place of an event that’s gotten too big for its britches.

Right now, Step has a two-for-one ticket offer … $349 for you and a friend/co-worker. (Full disclosure … we already applied.)
