Dubai Business Networking Meetup event for Founders |Free Registration
### Dubai Business Founder Meetup Event
If youโre building a real business in Dubai and want access to **other serious founders**, this is for you.
**Onlinkme Founder** Event is a closed-group Dubai business networking meetup designed **only** for founders, co-founders, senior directors, and company decision-makers who are actively building and scaling businesses in the UAE.
This is not a general meetup.
This is where **business conversations turn into business deals**.
## Why This Dubai Founder Networking Meetup Is Different
Hereโs the thing most networking events miss:

* Founder-to-founder networking only
* Serious business discussions, not surface-level chats

* **Online visibility through a 1M+ social media ecosystem**
Your presence doesnโt end at the venue.
Your business continues online.
## Our Core USP (Read This Carefully)
โ
**Founder-only access**
Only founders, co-founders, senior directors, and company decision-makers are allowed.
๐ฅ **Recorded Founder Pitches**
Selected founders get a 2-minute pitch that is professionally recorded.
๐ฃ **Massive Online Visibility**
Your pitch and company profile are shared on:
* Onlinkme Instagram Business Page
* Learnwithfaiz social media network
(Reaching over **1 million+ followers**)
๐ค **Deal-focused networking**
This platform is designed to help founders:
* Find partners
* Explore collaborations
* Validate ideas
* Unlock new business opportunities in Dubai
This is networking with intent.

Chaos Monkeys, Open Telemetry, and .NET Aspire: Taming Complexity in Modern Apps
**Chaos Monkeys, Open Telemetry, and .NET Aspire: Taming Complexity in Modern Apps**
.NET Aspire is far more than just a sleek dashboard for wowing your boss and co-workers. It's also a gateway to increased observability with open telemetry, better fault tolerance to fend off chaos monkeys, and a drastically improved onboarding experience for new developers.
This session will explore Microsoft's latest guidance for building distributed, cloud-first applications, with practical strategies for enhancing simpler existing apps. You'll discover the inner workings of Aspire, from installation to customization, and learn how it streamlines integration with performance boosters like Redis. Most importantly, you'll see why scalable microservices architectures can be challengingโand how Aspire helps simplify the journey.

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers
The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the โN x M integration problem,โ where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesnโt scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way?
This session introduces Anthropicโs Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connectorโthe USB-C portโfor AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents.
Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to:
Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture.
Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases.
Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI.
Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem.
Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesnโt just talk, but does.
