Yes, the UFI Global Congress is going ahead as planned on the scheduled dates in the Kingdom of Bahrain. No alternative venue is being considered. This provides clarity and assurance to our members, attendees, and hosts. We have the full support of our regional hosts and partners, who are actively and successfully running events in the region.

The Congress is designed as an in-person experience to maximize networking and engagement. While there will be no live stream or dial-in option for the main Congress sessions, all sessions will be recorded. Just like previous years, these recordings will be made available to delegates after the event, allowing you to revisit the content or catch up on anything you may have missed.

This refund applies to the Congress ticket only.
