Founders Speed Networking · Founders | CEOs | Decision-makers
**Dubai Speed Networking — face-to-face business connections in Business Bay**
The most efficient place to build real business relationships in Dubai. In one evening, you'll have meaningful one-to-one conversations with qualified business owners, decision-makers, and entrepreneurs — and walk away with contacts worth keeping.
This is not a casual networking drinks. It is a structured speed networking format — every conversation is intentional, every minute is used, and the room is filtered to make sure the people across from you are worth your time.
***
**What happens on the night**
A structured sequence of 1:1 sessions — each one focused, timed, and productive. You get to the point quickly, exchange what matters, and move on. By the end of the evening you will have spoken face-to-face with more qualified contacts than most people meet in a month of coffee meetings.
The evening closes with an open networking session — less structured, more conversational, where the connections made earlier deepen naturally.
***
**Who will be in the room**
Business owners, founders, decision-makers. The event is by reservation only — participants fill out a brief profile form before attending. This keeps the room quality high and the conversations relevant.
Maximum 2 representatives per company. No exceptions — this protects the diversity of the room.
***
**Located in Business Bay**
Central, accessible, and exactly where Dubai's business community operates. Venue address is shared with confirmed attendees only after registration.
***
**The details**
📅 Wednesday 17 June 2026
⏰ 7:30pm – 10:30pm
📍 Business Bay, Dubai (shared after registration)
🎟 AED 80 Early bird - AED 200 Standard Price
***
**One important note on timing**
The speed networking format runs on precise timing. Arriving late disrupts the one-to-one sequence for everyone in the room. Please arrive on time.
***
**About the Dubai Elite Business Circle**
Part of the Kovalys Connect community — a network of business owners and professionals across the UAE and beyond.
Our Dubai events bring together qualified professionals in an environment built for real conversations and real outcomes.

Speed Business Networking DIFC - Let's grow your business together!
IMPORTANT: If you RSVP, it is essential that you attend or update your RSVP status at least one day before the networking session. For an optimal networking experience, we need at least 20-25 participants. If you RSVP and do not attend, it is not fair to those who are punctual and turn up as they said they would. Please be mindful and only RSVP if you are confident you can attend.
7:30 PM to 9:30 PM (PLEASE, BE ON TIME!)
Concrete Restaurant
Burj Daman Tower
DIFC, Dubai
Located on Ground Floor (VIEW MAP - https://maps.app.goo.gl/3u5DZgQrvJPLrv1U6)
**Parking:** 2 hours of free parking are available in the building.
It's fast, it's fun, and the best thing about it is that you get to pitch to many different people within a short period.
All that you need is your business cards (not compulsory) and your presence.
Typically, you would meet many different people, spending only 2 - 3 minutes with each, and it's a great way to meet others. You speak to the person in front of you, and when the bell rings, you move to your left to speak to the next person. View Video of past events (https://youtu.be/ImZAe4OQ1qg).
This gives you a great chance to network with business owners and decision-makers to find the clients, vendors, and professionals you need most.
**Cost: AED 70 cash** (Includes Coffee, Tea, Soft Drinks or Water)
Remember to tell your friends, colleagues and associates and bring lots of business cards!
How to get there: (VIEW MAP - https://maps.app.goo.gl/3u5DZgQrvJPLrv1U6)
IMPORTANT RULES ON TIMING, NO-SHOWS AND CANCELLATION:
1. Please, be on time, so that we can start promptly at 7.30 pm.
2. If you have never been here before, then arrive early, so that you can find us.
3. If you have RSVP'd as "YES" and then do not show up, you will be removed and banned from this group, as it shows you are not professional enough to be a part of this group. You can easily change the status if you know that you may not make it. This is important as we have to make prior reservations at the venue.
4. People arriving late may not be able to join in if we have already begun, as that ruins the flow and transitions around the tables. By allowing people to join late results in meeting the same person twice and missing out on others, which is unfair for those who arrive on time.
Any questions, please call OR WhatsApp Vlad on +971 56 693 0866.

Bad Girls Book Club June 2026
**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller**
**This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.**
Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship.
Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed.
Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
