CrowdStrike CrowdTour Dubai lands at the Mandarin Oriental Downtown on 6 October, with a day of live Falcon platform demos, a hands-on agentic SOC lab and sessions aimed at security leaders. Registration is open now, and it is free.
The Dubai stop is one of more than 60 cities on CrowdStrike’s 2026 roadshow — more than double the 2025 programme, and a lot of hotels. Now in its third year, the tour’s theme is “Securing the AI era together”, built around three pillars: defeating AI-accelerated adversaries, governing and securing AI across the enterprise, and agentic SOC transformation.
CrowdStrike CrowdTour Dubai: date, venue and agenda
The day runs 9:30 am to 5:00 pm (GST) on October 6 at the Mandarin Oriental Downtown on Sheikh Zayed Road. The keynote, “Stopping Breaches at Machine Speed – The Agentic Era of Cybersecurity”, opens the sessions, followed by a customer panel on accelerating AI adoption and a fireside chat with a customer from the region.
After lunch, the programme splits into breakouts: a CISO-track session, a workshop using the Falcon platform and Charlotte AI to stop breaches and speed up investigations, and a hands-on lab that walks teams through CrowdStrike’s agentic SOC — “onboard, operationalize, orchestrate”, per the agenda. Sessions wrap at 3:25 pm, with networking and entertainment closing the day at 5:00 pm.
What it means for UAE security teams
Attendance is complimentary, but seats are limited and each attendee registers individually — worth doing early rather than assuming a spot will still be there in September. CrowdStrike lists Americana, AW Rostamani, Petrofac and DGE among previous CrowdTour customer speakers, and this year’s Dubai agenda includes a customer story from the region. Partners on the stop include Zscaler, JumpCloud, Cohesity and TruU.
UAE businesses already face more cyberattacks than the regional average while leading on Zero Trust maturity, per tbreak’s 2024 analysis, and the local security community is expanding — Microsoft and CPX launched She Protects this year to bring more women into the field. A free day of hands-on demos, with registration here, is aimed at the people doing that work.
Is CrowdTour Dubai free to attend?
Yes. Registration is complimentary, but space is limited in each city, so attendees should register individually to reserve a seat.
Who should attend CrowdTour Dubai?
Cybersecurity and IT professionals — SOC analysts, security engineers, executives and CISOs — along with anyone responsible for securing AI adoption in their organisation.
Where is CrowdTour Dubai being held?
Mandarin Oriental Downtown on Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Wasl, Dubai. The event runs 9:30 am to 5:00 pm GST on 6 October 2026.
