INDEX Talks

Human connection is powerful beyond measure, and is an essential element of our journey. ‘INDEX Talks’, powered by INDEX Media, decided to take connection to the next level, and hide an essential element of communication, enabling other elements to shine! ‘INDEX Talks’ will feature speakers but conceal their identities, enabling them to share the stories of their successes and failures, and the stories that make them who they are today freely. 


Aqdar Talks Platform


Specialized Workshops will be organized parallel to the conference over a period of 3 days, providing a platform to exchange ideas and best practices that attract a number of leaders, decision-makers, experts and international consultants to offer their insights on various pressing current issues.

Global Exhibition

Complementing Aqdar Lab and Aqdar Talks Platform, a -3day exhibition will be organized to provide a platform for local and international organizations from private and public sectors to showcase their products, services, solutions, initiatives and projects in line with the latest innovations and sustainable development for the societies.
