Dubai: Where encounters become genuine connections
Dubai’s financial centre and its entire ecosystem have by now become so important to our company that in 2027 we will be hosting three events at the wonderful Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre – in April, July and November. A group of around 20 personalities has proven to be the ideal size for this format, and we will maintain the same approach for our Sessions next year in Zurich (Bridge) and Monaco (Nikki Beach). Our event series is complemented by our three-day Summer and Winter Summits at the Hotel Suvretta House in St. Moritz – our flagship events.
The afternoon of Wednesday, 5 August 2026, was fantastic: the 2nd «The Finance & Future» Session was fully booked. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the guests in person for the first time. But that is precisely what makes Dubai so special to me: you meet someone and yet immediately have the feeling that you have known each other for years. The exchange was high-calibre, inspiring and always on an equal footing. What impressed me most was the participants’ exceptional social intelligence – that unique combination of openness, worldly sophistication and cultural diversity that Dubai embodies like few other places.
At this point, I would also like to extend my warmest thanks to Ahmed Tarek, Assistant Outlet Manager, and his entire team. The service and cuisine were once again world-class. It is a great pleasure and, at the same time, an honour to be a guest at this truly exceptional hotel. Thomas J. Caduff, CEO, Fundplat LLC
