About meira
The Middle East Investor Relations Association (MEIRA) Annual Conference and Awards is the largest IR event in MENA.
This benchmark event brings together participants from locally listed firms, international corporates, investors, research analysts and advisors, as well as representatives of the region's Regulatory bodies. The aim of the Conference is to provide delegates with a networking platform and to encourage dialogue around market challenges and best practice, while educating participants and stakeholders on the importance of Investor Relations, transparency and corporate governance.
The MEIRA Annual Conference is the region’s most influential gathering for investor relations, ESG and corporate governance.
It’s not just an event.
It’s the centre of gravity for the
region’s capital market professionals.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2026 - 19TH EDITION
In 2026, the MEIRA Annual Conference returns to where it all began. Back in Dubai after five years, in the birthplace of MEIRA and the heart of its operations, this landmark 19th edition is more than a
conference. It is a homecoming - and a statement of how far Investor Relations in the Middle East has come.
While hosted in the UAE, the Conference is distinctly regional in scope and reach, designed to provide meaningful visibility, access, and participation for organisations and market participants from across the Middle East.
Designed as a high-impact, premium one-day gathering, the Conference offers a rare and compelling opportunity for senior decision-makers from listed companies, stock exchanges, the investment community, regulators, and advisory organisations to come together to explore the key trends, challenges, opportunities, and outlook shaping Investor Relations and capital markets in the year ahead.
The day culminates in the MEIRA IR Awards Gala Dinner - a celebration of excellence, leadership, and best practice across the region.
