Its agenda features over 320 sessions and events covering effective leadership, the economy, societal wellbeing, city resilience, and future technologies.
The special stamps are aimed at enhancing the visitor experience and supporting the summit’s objectives while also serving as a welcoming gesture, symbolising UAE identity as a centre for government innovation and international cooperation.
Dubai is known for introducing special stamps during events. Towards the end of January, Dubai airport welcomed passengers with special stamps to celebrate the deep-rooted fraternal relations between the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, under the slogan 'UAE and Kuwait: Brothers Forever'.
Meanwhile last year around the same time, travellers were welcome by the world Government Summit stamps, which were used to document the passports of visitors arriving through Dubai’s air entry points.
