Dubai, UAE - DELIVER Middle East, the region’s premier invitation-only event Powering the Future of Retail Supply Chains, has officially kicked off the countdown to its 2027 edition by unveiling its first wave of senior retail and supply chain speakers.

The announcement marks the next phase in the build-up to the event, giving confirmed and prospective attendees an early look at the world-class conference programme ahead of the launch of DELIVER’s signature 1-2-1 matchmaking platform.

Taking place on 20+21 January 2027 in Dubai, DELIVER Middle East will bring together the region’s most influential retail, supply chain and logistics leaders in a curated, fully hosted environment designed to foster meaningful commercial connections and strategic partnerships.

The programme features senior decision makers from leading retailers and brands across the Middle East and beyond, alongside influential voices from logistics, technology and supply chain innovation. Delegates will benefit from an inspiring conference programme exploring unified commerce, cross-border logistics, AI, automation, fulfilment innovation and the technologies transforming retail supply chains across the region.

Stéphane Tomczak, Founder and Chairman of DELIVER, commented:

“DELIVER Middle East exists to connect the region’s most influential retail and supply chain decision makers in a highly focused and efficient way. Our curated 1-2-1 meetings are at the heart of the experience, enabling meaningful, pre-qualified connections that drive real commercial outcomes. Combined with a world-class conference programme, this is where partnerships are built and business gets done.”

The event’s curated 1-2-1 matchmaking format remains DELIVER’s core differentiator, allowing retailers and brands to meet with carefully selected solution providers based on their business priorities and strategic objectives. Every meeting is pre-arranged, relevant and commercially focused, ensuring a high-value experience for all participants.

Attendance is strictly limited to maintain the quality of networking and meetings, bringing together senior-level retail and supply chain leaders, including C-suite executives, directors and regional decision makers, alongside a carefully selected group of innovative technology and logistics partners.

As momentum builds ahead of January 2027, additional speaker announcements and programme highlights will be revealed, with qualified retailers and brands encouraged to secure their invitations early to gain priority access to the matchmaking process when it goes live.
