About this event

DealCatalyst's Fixed Income Alternatives Conference returns to Dubai as part of Dubai Future Finance Week, hosted by DIFC. The 2026 edition switches to a half-day format: four private, invitation-only roundtables that put international credit managers and service providers in a room with the Gulf's local LPs and GPs, with a cap of 75 to 100 participants.

Roundtable sessions

Each roundtable brings together 20 to 30 limited partners for candid discussion and open Q&A instead of a traditional panel.
