Registration will open on Thursday, 10 September 2026.

Join us in Dubai on Wednesday, 21 October 2026 for the LMA Middle East Loan Markets Conference, the leading event for loan market professionals in the region. In line with our core mission, this conference will unite the Middle East loan markets for a focused exchange on global and regional trends, regional opportunities, and the challenges shaping the industry, helping to drive greater efficiency, liquidity and transparency across the region's loan markets.

The programme begins with a geopolitical and macroeconomic keynote to set the scene, followed by a pivotal Borrower Perspectives panel, bringing together finance and treasury leaders from some of the GCC’s most prominent corporates – ACWA Power, DP World and Masdar. The afternoon moves to the lenders’ perspective – with a Loan Market Debt Leaders panel, a dedicated Project, Infrastructure and Energy panel, and concludes with the perspective of the private credit and alternative lending side of the market.

Registration will open at 11:30 alongside a networking lunch, and the conference will commence promptly at 12:30. The sessions will conclude at 16:50 and will be followed by a drinks reception open to all attendees, speakers, and sponsors ending at 19:00.

The full agenda will be announced in September.
