iFX EXPO Dubai 2027

iFX EXPO Dubai 2027 is the Dubai edition of iFX EXPO, a trade show for the online trading business that has been running for more than ten years. The organiser presents it as the main gathering point for that sector worldwide. The 2027 show runs from 23 to 25 March at the Dubai World Trade Centre, and the organiser says the 2026 Dubai event was the biggest it has staged in the city so far. Two audiences share the venue. The core expo is aimed at companies: retail brokers, fintech firms, payment providers, liquidity providers, technology vendors, and introducing brokers (IBs) and affiliates. Alongside it runs the Trading Festival, a show for retail traders that started in 2026 and now returns for a second year. Its programme combines an expo area with brokers and platforms, the Traders Arena with live sessions on reading markets and controlling risk, an Investing Lab pitched at traders of different experience, and a Trading Cup in which traders compete live. The organiser expects more than 200 companies on the exhibition floor, spread across brokerage, fintech, payments, liquidity and technology. Conference content is split over three stages, the Speaker Hall, the Traders Arena and the Mastery Hub, covering business strategy, regulation and market trends as well as trader education. Networking runs through the iFX EXPO app, networking parties, business lounges and side events. The speakers shown on the official site appeared at earlier Dubai editions, among them people from DIFC Innovation Hub, FTMO, eToro, Payoneer, CFI Financial Group and Baker & McKenzie, so they should not be read as a confirmed 2027 line-up. Visitor registration has not opened yet. The site only collects expressions of interest, and no ticket prices are published. Sponsor and exhibitor packages are already offered; depending on the package, sponsors receive up to 12 passes plus branding at the venue and in the app and a giveaway placed in attendee bags. For affiliates the fit is direct but narrow. IBs and affiliates are one of the audience groups the organiser names, next to the brokers they work with. Media buyers running trading offers can meet broker partnership teams, payment firms and technology vendors in one place, and the co-located Trading Festival is a chance to see the retail traders those campaigns try to reach. Affiliates who work outside trading and forex will find little here.
