I'm honored to announce I'll be delivering a keynote address at Gulfood 2026 in Dubai on January 26, 2026.

As someone who's spent decades analyzing the forces reshaping global food systems, I can tell you this: Gulfood isn't just another trade show. It's where the world's food story begins each year.

With 8,500+ exhibitors from 195 countries, 1.5 million+ products, and the most comprehensive showcase of food innovation on the planet, Gulfood 2026 is expanding to two mega venues for the first time—Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City.

This is 100% more scale, 100% more suppliers, 100% more innovation.
My keynote will dig into the trends that matter most right now: the intersection of AI and food logistics, the evolution of consumer behavior in a polycrisis economy, and the retail strategies that will separate winners from losers in 2026.
Whether you're in CPG, retail, foodservice, or supply chain, this is where you need to be to understand what's coming next.
