What to Expect in HR & L&D Summit & Awards – UAE Edition 2025
Where People, Performance and Purpose Converge
Market Insights
In the UAE and across the GCC, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) has become a strategic imperative for forward-looking HR and L&D leaders seeking to align workforce development with both global standards and regional priorities. As the region embraces digital transformation and knowledge-based economies under frameworks like UAE Vision 2031 and Centennial 2071, organizations are increasingly turning to HR and L&D teams to embed DEI into the fabric of talent management, leadership development and organizational culture.
With the UAE’s uniquely diverse, multicultural workforce, HR professionals face both the challenge and opportunity of designing inclusive policies, equitable performance systems and learning pathways that empower underrepresented groups. Meanwhile, L&D functions are taking the lead in delivering bias awareness training, inclusive leadership programs and reskilling initiatives that close access gaps and build a culture of belonging. By integrating DEI into every stage of the employee lifecycle, HR and L&D are not only enhancing engagement and retention but also positioning their organizations as employers of choice in a competitive, talent-driven market.
As the UAE solidifies its position as a regional hub for innovation, talent and digital transformation,
this summit will explore how organizations can empower their people, elevate learning and build
agile, future-ready workforces.
Email Marketing: A Growing Global Powerhouse
Email marketing continues to solidify its position as a cornerstone of digital communication, with the number of global email users expected to grow from 4.26 billion in 2022 to 4.73 billion by 2026. This unparalleled reach is matched by its ubiquity; in 2022 alone, 333 billion emails were sent and received daily worldwide, a figure projected to rise to an astonishing 392.5 billion by 2026. These trends underscore the growing reliance on email as an essential channel for brands to engage their audiences.
Driving Exceptional ROI and Business Growth
Email marketing is not only about reach but also about impact. In a 2022 survey, 27% of respondents revealed that regular newsletters from brands significantly influence their purchasing decisions. With a potential return on investment of $36 for every dollar spent, email marketing delivers unmatched value, making it an indispensable tool for businesses aiming to maximize engagement and conversions. Furthermore, 64% of small businesses leverage email marketing as their go-to strategy for customer outreach, reflecting its versatility and effectiveness.
The Billion-Dollar Opportunity
The financial potential of email marketing is remarkable, with revenue forecasted to soar to $17.9 billion by 2027, marking a growth of over $10 billion since 2020 at a compound annual growth rate of 13.3%. This surge is fueled by advancements in data analytics, personalized campaigns, and the ability to deliver measurable results. At the Email Marketing Summit Middle East 2025, we will delve into these opportunities, showcasing how businesses can harness the full power of email marketing to drive growth and innovation in today’s competitive digital landscape.
