A Statement Regarding Global Impact 2026 MENA

DA Global has made the decision to postpone Global Impact 2026 MENA, originally scheduled for March 25–26 at New York University Abu Dhabi in the UAE.

Beginning February 28, 2026, active hostilities emerged across the Gulf region. Given the rapidly evolving situation and the uncertainty of how events will unfold, proceeding would not be a responsible course of action. The safety and wellbeing of our community — our attendees, speakers, and partners — is our highest priority.

This postponement does not reflect a change in our commitment to the MENA region. We remain deeply invested in the people, culture, innovation, and the vital role MENA will play in the future of global education. Alongside our host partner, New York University Abu Dhabi, we are committed to bringing Global Impact MENA to life when the time is right.

We will share updates on rescheduling as the situation develops. We are grateful for the understanding and continued support of our community.
