Behind every business journey are decisions, challenges, lessons and moments people don't always see.

We're pleased to welcome Lea Pilot as a panelist for:

What They Never Tell You About Building a Business
For Lea, one lesson stands out:
“Community comes before business. People don't stay because of a product , they stay because they feel they belong.”

Through events, wellness, networking and travel experiences, Lea focuses on bringing people together and creating genuine connections.

Join Lea and our panel for an open conversation about what it really takes to build, adapt and keep moving forward.

What do founders really learn when no one is watching?

The decisions. The mistakes. The lessons. And the people who help shape the journey.
We're pleased to welcome Michelle Bernadette France, Co-Founder of Strategic Business Connect, as Co-Host of Founder Unfiltered at Founder Spotlight Showcase 2026.

Michelle believes that relationships are one of the most valuable parts of the business journey , surrounding yourself with good people, staying curious, listening, and understanding that being busy isn't always the same as making progress.

Her founder lesson says it simply:
“Being busy is not the same as making progress.”

Join Michelle and our founders for an open conversation about what building a business really looks like - beyond what we usually see.

Dubai has enough networking events.
So why another one?

Because founders don’t need more business cards.
They need the right conversations.
A potential client.
A future partner.
An expert who understands the challenge.
A collaborator who could open the next door.

On 8 September, we’re bringing together 150+ founders, 25+ speakers & panelists, and 20+ exhibitors in one room.

The question is…
Who do YOU need to meet?
📅 8 September 2026
⏰ 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
