Where finance meets the future – the first gathering in Dubai
On Wednesday, 15 April 2026, the 1st «Finance & Future» Session took place in Dubai. For the premiere, we chose the elegant terrace of the Penrose Lounge at the iconic Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre.
The new format brings together around 15 selected experts from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and various other countries. They represent a range of finance and future-focused topics such as AI, Blockchain, Digital Assets, Longevity, Robotics, and Sustainability – with the aim of exchanging ideas at a high level and learning from one another.
The guests were individuals I know personally and deeply value – people with strong social intelligence and, at the same time, remarkable professional achievement. The launch was a great success: the planned 90 minutes proved to be too short, which is why we will extend the format to 120 minutes going forward.
The upcoming Sessions, held four times a year in Dubai, will continue to take place at the Four Seasons. The atmosphere was cosmopolitan, the service exceeded even the highest expectations, and the culinary experience was among the finest worldwide.
The next Session will take place on Wednesday, 5 August 2026 – thank you to everyone who joined, it was wonderful to share this time with you. Thomas J. Caduff, CEO, Fundplat LLC
