The World GRC Summit & Awards 2026 marks the region’s first dedicated, senior-level platform focused exclusively on Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) in the GCC and MENA. The summit brings together policymakers, regulators, Governance Leaders, Chief Risk Officers, compliance leaders, and GRC technology providers to address the increasing complexity of today’s Governance, Risk, and Compliance environment.
As organisations face growing regulatory pressure, cyber threats, and operational risk, the need for integrated, digital, and resilient GRC frameworks has become critical. Focused on real-world impact, the summit showcases practical strategies, proven frameworks, and scalable technologies across integrated GRC platforms, cybersecurity risk, regulatory compliance, enterprise risk management, and emerging technology governance.
Through high-level discussions, solution showcases, and curated networking, the World GRC Summit enables meaningful connections, commercial opportunities, and insights. Organised by Gulf Xellence, the team behind the established World ESG Summit & Awards series, the World GRC Summit is built on the same foundation.
