Let’s Reimagine the Future

WFDSA World Congress XVII “Reimagine the Future” will take place in person on October 16-18, 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates with a full day CEO Council meeting on October 16.

Hosted by the DSA of the United Arab Emirates, it is the first World Congress to be held in Dubai, which is not only among the top 5 most visited cities in the World but also a gateway to Middle East/North Africa Region. With over 570 million people, it is a great opportunity for the industry to tap into region’s great potential.

The past two years have highlighted the compelling need for what our industry offers. With all the volatility in the world, I believe this is the time for our industry to rise and shine. Now is the time when we can bring a more powerful and inclusive business model to the forefront of the world’s attention. Now is our time to broaden our view of our stakeholders to care not just for our customers, our distributors and our employees, but to also care for our communities and our planet. This is our moment to lead and to Reimagine, Reinvent and Redefine our industry’s future.

We are expecting industry executives, government officials, consumer leaders, academics and other stakeholders from all around the world to come to gather to exchange ideas and learn from each other in order to reimagine our industry and unveil some transformative initiatives which we have undertaken regarding Advocacy, Ethics and Regulatory issues.

Dubai government is extending its wholehearted support at the highest levels to make this an unforgettable event and we look forward to being back together.
