Mandarin Oriental Jumeira
Dubai
Now in its Ninth edition, the Middle East Family Office Investment Summit is a firm fixture in the calendar of the most prominent and influential families in the region – as well as those who want to do business with them.

Introduction
As we plan to head to Dubai again in 2022, we do it with a fresh sense of possibility and purpose. Our agenda and exclusive list of invited delegates reflects the best of opportunities available to the modern family office and those who want to do business with them.
Being a family office ourselves, we are in a position to invite other family offices to gather together, and to introduce the service providers who want to meet and work with them.
Networking is easy at Alea Global Group events, it’s what we’re known for. We create an informal and inspiring atmosphere in which new business partnerships can begin with ease.
So we will see you in person in Dubai for a programme of panels, talks and round table discussions is broken up with strategic breaks for breakfast, lunch, coffee, dinner and cocktails, designed for meeting and mingling with key decision-makers from family offices, with our usual highly rewarding 70:30 split of family offices to service providers.
We know that our strength is in what happens in the room when we bring our special mix of delegates together. That is where the magic happens, and it is a magic that is exclusive to Alea events.
Our story
The Al Duaij family office has a long and glorious history in Kuwait as one of the most prominent and respected business forces.
The Al Duaij family business, Alea Global Group, has won several awards including The European Award, and the CEO Award two years running. Head of the family office, Mohammad Al Duaij, has won the Man of the Year award for his work building international business relationships.
Through their networks, they have formed strong personal and professional relationships with other family offices across the globe, all sharing much common ground and a willingness to work together.
Mohammad Al Duaij, has been a conference speaker for the past 12 years, appearing at events all over the world. It was during his time touring the conference circuit that Mohammad noticed a gap in the market for events specific to family offices and those who want to meet them.
Bringing together his conference experience, and his special insight into the world’s most prestigious family offices, this conference unites family offices with each other. It also gives business and entrepreneurs unprecedented access to this unique and powerful network.
