Tomilli Summit 2026 Announces Postponement of In-Person Ceremony
OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE | OCTOBER 20, 2026
Dear participants, recognized companies, judges, strategic allies and attendees:
The Tomilli Summit organization has decided to postpone its in-person awards ceremony planned for November 12, 2026 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The international meeting will be held in 2027, in a new venue that will be announced once everything is in order.
This decision was made in response to the current geopolitical situation in the region. Ongoing tensions have generated uncertainty in the region and, due to their nature and evolution, represent a risk factor beyond the control of our organization.
Over the past few weeks, we have monitored the regional situation, assessing possible implications for international travel. We have also heard the concerns expressed by companies, international representatives, allies and attendees who were planning to join us in Dubai. While we consider Dubai to be a safe city and not a target for those nations involved in the conflict, there are risks when it comes to air travel routes. Therefore, we do not have the necessary certainty to move forward with the in-person celebration at the location and on the date originally scheduled.
Safety, well-being and the peace of mind for attendees are priorities that prevail over any logistical, commercial or institutional commitment.
Scope of the decision
The postponement exclusively affects the ceremony and face-to-face gathering scheduled in Dubai for November 2026. The Tomilli Summit 2026 evaluation, selection and recognition process maintain their distinction corresponding to 2026, however, they will be celebrated at the ceremony that will be held in 2027. Winners that have paid their award rights for 2026 will be granted one free entry to the 2027 event.
Our next gathering: 2027
The organization is already working on coordinating a new in-person gathering for 2027. The city, host location and dates will be communicated via our official channels once the relevant organizational and security conditions have been confirmed.
We look forward to gathering with our international community, including the companies and projects recognized in the festival’s 2026 edition.
We regret any inconveniences that this decision may cause and we are grateful for the understanding of those who have accompanied us in this process. This decision was made so as to prioritize the security of our international community. We are happy to reaffirm our commitment to innovation. We deeply appreciate your trust and look forward to seeing you in 2027.
Sincerely,
Committee Organizer | Tomilli Summit 2026
