Where to find meaningful diplomatic events in the Gulf region?

[RandyWilliams]

I’m doing research on how international organizations collaborate in the Middle East and would love to attend some live events to understand how diplomacy works on the ground there. Does anyone know where I can find announcements or lists of relevant conferences, especially in the UAE or Qatar?

I’ve been following diplomatic events hosted in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for a while. Usually, you can find them through chambers of commerce or through platforms like EurAsia Gulf. They often organize discussions that go beyond protocol — things like economic diplomacy, energy partnerships, and intercultural dialogue. I once met a representative from a Central Asian embassy who later helped us with export documentation. So even if you’re just observing, those gatherings are worth the time — you meet people who actually shape policy and trade cooperation.
