The Dubai Coca-Cola Arena will host 13,000 entrepreneurs from 75 countries for Megacampus Summit 2026, featuring James Cameron, Robert Greene, Magnus Carlsen, and Wim Hof across two days of strategic thinking and business development sessions.

Dubai will host its second Megacampus Summit on March 6-7, 2026, hosting 13,000 participants from 75 countries at Coca-Cola Arena. It builds on the 2024 edition, which received a Guinness World Record as the world’s largest lecture event.

The 2026 speaker lineup includes filmmaker James Cameron (Terminator, Titanic, Avatar), author Robert Greene (The 48 Laws of Power), chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, and performance coach Wim Hof. Organizers will announce additional speakers closer to the event.

The summit runs alongside Megacampus Week (March 2-8, 2026), a program of forums, training sessions, and networking events aimed at connecting entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts.

Event structure and format

The two-day program includes keynote sessions, workshops, and networking events. Organizers say the format focuses on practical business development rather than traditional lectures.

Ticket pricing ranges from $55 (Light) to $15,000 (Platinum), with prices rising on the 1st and 15th of each month. Each tier offers different levels of access to speakers, workshops, and networking areas.

2024 benchmark and expansion

The inaugural 2024 summit drew speakers including UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, director Luc Besson, author Robert Kiyosaki, entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, and former Facebook executive Randi Zuckerberg. The Guinness World Record certification highlighted the scale of the event within the business-conference space.

Organizers have not disclosed attendance conversion rates or participant satisfaction metrics from the 2024 event. The 2026 edition marks a broader program and a higher-profile speaker lineup than the debut year.

Regional business forum positioning

Dubai continues to strengthen its role as a regional hub for international business events. Megacampus Week extends beyond the core summit days to create a week-long program of business development activities, according to organizers.

The event targets entrepreneurs, business executives, and professionals looking for strategy-focused sessions and networking opportunities. Partnership and media inquiries can be sent to [email protected].
