The DIA Middle East & Africa Conference 2026: Your Gateway to Regional Collaboration and Innovation

The DIA Middle East & Africa Conference 2026 is your opportunity to engage with one of the world's most dynamic and rapidly evolving healthcare and regulatory landscapes. Taking place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, the conference will bring together regulatory authorities, industry leaders, academics, patient representatives, and global healthcare stakeholders from across the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.

The MEA region is moving quickly, with authorities and industry working through new models for reliance, harmonisation, digitalisation, and cross-border collaboration. This conference creates space for those conversations to happen directly, with the people responsible for turning policy into practice.

Participants will take part in practical sessions, town halls, workshops, think tanks, and networking discussions covering regional regulatory developments, pharmacovigilance, AI in regulatory systems, digitalisation, and sustainable healthcare solutions.

For organisations active in the region, the conference is a focused opportunity to build visibility, meet decision-makers, share expertise, and be part of the discussions shaping the next stage of healthcare regulation and innovation across MEA.
