The Merchant Advisory Group (MAG) is pleased to invite you to the MAG UAE Meet-up, taking place in Dubai on Wednesday, 6 May 2026, 10am-6pm marking the official launch of the MAG UAE Chapter.
This invitation-only Meet-up will bring together a carefully curated group of senior merchants and industry experts for a day of education, collaboration, and insight-sharing focused on regional and global payments innovation.
Attendance for merchants is complimentary, reflecting MAG’s mission to support the merchant community through education and advocacy rather than commercial promotion.

- Managing payments across multiple regions and corridors
- Using payments as a lever for growth and customer experience
- Risk, fraud, and resilience in high-growth markets
- The evolving regulatory and innovation landscape in the Middle East
