MARKET PLACE LEADERS IFTAR
Seeking the flourishing of the Marketplace
A Forum for Market place Leaders
Friday, February 27, 2026 | 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM
Two Seasons Hotel, Dubai
* Limited seats. Registration required.
An evening of thoughtful conversation and shared vision with business leaders who desire to see Dubai flourish — economically, socially, and spiritually — through responsible leadership and collaborative influence.
The Purpose
WHY THIS DINNER?
Dubai’s marketplace is one of the most dynamic in the world. Its future will be shaped not only by innovation and capital, but by the values, imagination, and convictions of its leaders.
This gathering centers around a shared question:
What does it look like to seek the Peace of the city together through our work, industries, and collective influence?
“Peace” speaks to more than prosperity. It reflects wholeness, wellbeing, justice, creativity, and human flourishing across every sphere of society.
This evening is not a conference or a keynote-driven program. It is a relational forum designed to:
- Cultivate trust among marketplace leaders
- Develop shared language around faith, leadership, and city impact
- Encourage alignment between church, capital, and civic priorities
- Lay foundations for long-term collaboration
You will leave with:
- A clearer vision for how your work contributes to the flourishing of the city
- Meaningful connections with other business leaders in Dubai
- Practical insight into collaborative possibilities across sectors
- An invitation into ongoing dialogue and partnership
This forum explores how business leaders can move beyond individual success toward collective impact — contributing to a city where commerce and compassion, growth and goodness, leadership and service are integrated.
The Conversation
Seeking the flourishing of the Marketplace
- Every industry shapes culture.
- Every business decision affects communities.
- Every leader influences the future of the city.
To seek the flourishing of the marketplace means:
- Building ventures that strengthen communities, not just balance sheets
- Leading with integrity, wisdom, and long-term vision
- Aligning capital, innovation, and faith toward the common good
- Recognizing that business is not separate from civic responsibility
What is "Redemptive Business" ?
As human beings, we’re designed to make something of the world—turning the raw material of creation into culture: organizations, products, brands, models, partnerships, and solutions that create opportunity for others.
And as Christ-followers, our public witness matters. The Church’s creative and prophetic contribution is expressed through both word and action—love that serves, leadership that tells the truth, and ventures that resist what dehumanizes while building what restores.
This is the heart of a redemptive business model:
This is the heart of a redemptive business model:
- People are more loved and worthy than we can imagine
- Work becomes a deep expression of vocation and service
- We build for truth, goodness, beauty, justice, and human flourishing
- We seek renewal that blesses neighbors (not just growth that benefits ourselves)
