What an incredible journey it has been! The 13th Annual GOV HR & YOUTH SUMMIT and Awards 2025 concluded on a truly remarkable note, and we owe this success to each one of you — our sponsors, speakers, delegates, and supporters — who made it an unforgettable experience.
Your passion, insights, and resolute commitment helped us create a platform that truly celebrated innovation, collaboration, and the spirit of human potential. Together, we shaped conversations that will continue to inspire transformation across human capital development and youth empowerment in the GCC and beyond.
And now, we’re thrilled to announce that the momentum continues!
Get ready for the 14th Annual GOV HR & YOUTH SUMMIT and Awards, returning even bolder, broader, and more inspiring than ever. Once again, the region’s most influential gathering will re-unite government leaders, public institutions, and private organizations to tackle the most pressing human capital challenges and empower the next generation of change makers.
The 2026 edition will bring together forward-looking themes, world-class insights, and a powerful lineup of global and regional voices, all focused on shaping the future of work, leadership, and opportunities to nurture human caliber.
As HR continues to evolve at lightning speed, we will move beyond conversation to real action — driving transformation, inclusion, and excellence in people and culture.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. The future of HR and youth leadership begins with you, and we can’t wait to see you again next year as we continue building the future, together.
