Don't Take Our Word for It - Here's what our attendees have to say

Being here with so many talented professionals and HR experts is a tremendous opportunity for any leader. It’s a chance not only to share your own experiences but also to learn from others. If you look around the room, the collective experience is immense-more than a thousand years of expertise gathered in one place. Events like this allow us to benefit from each other’s knowledge and grow together as a community.

was truly a pleasure to be part of the event. I really enjoyed the energy in the room and the engaging discussions. Thanks again for the opportunity and your warm hospitality!
Mubadala Energy
- Executive Director HC and Deputy Chief Corporate Support Officer,
It’s been a fascinating summit. I know this is now the 11th Annual HR TECH MENA summit, and the conversation is becoming more timely than ever. As we see AI increasingly embedded in human resources and the employee experience-and with data showing that AI adoption in HR has doubled in the past 12 months-this is truly the perfect time to be having these discussions.
Ipsos
- Global Head of Employee Experience,
The networking breaks have been excellent. I was impressed by the quality and diversity of the delegates, which led to a wide variety of engaging conversations. There was a strong level of maturity, with delegates not only networking with us as sponsors but also inspiring one another. This dynamic was clearly driven by the effective content at the start of the sessions, which focused everyone on the core themes for the day. Overall, the combination of high-quality content and a great mix of delegates resulted in truly positive and meaningful discussions.

This event has truly been thought-provoking. It has been fascinating to hear such a diversity of thought from the panelists, keynote speakers, and the many delegates I’ve met today. The mix of participants-from leaders of large organizations to start-ups-created a unique chemistry and brought a wide range of perspectives to every conversation. The energy throughout the day has been inspiring, and I am genuinely excited about the journey ahead.
Mercer
- Partner,
The networking breaks were ample. I believe they were adequately spaced between the sessions so found the delegates to be energetic that is often something we are worried about between breaks. Especially in terms of quality of the delegates we believe that this is a niche event, niche summit which invited people who are particularly interested in HR techs application, in improving HR and delivering HR mandates to their organization.

Earlier Editions - Here's what our attendees have to say

We are delighted to be here today. This is our second time attending the HR Tech MENA and it’s just fantastic to be around super delegates, colleagues, friends and supporters. It’s always great at the HR TECH MENA Summit to be able to have amazingly collaborative conversations around employee engagement and employee experience initiatives that are happening within the region and how Qualtrics can potentially support them. The delegates we’re talking to are CHROs, heads of HR, business users, a plethora and widespread use cases of different conversations that we can have. So incredibly valuable in all aspects of employee experience. We’ve made fantastic connections. The connections that we have had at this event, and we see a lot more to come, a lot more business to come. So, we are very happy about that
Qualitrics
Vice President & General Manager - Middle East and Emerging Markets,
It was a very professional experience. It was a very clear experience. We constantly had help and guidance if required. There are people coming to check-in on you quite frequently – have you met the right people, is there anyone you would like us to introduce you to. So, it has been a very pleasant experience so far. The quality of delegates has been good. Had some meaningful conversations that we are hoping will lead to some good business leads. Yeah sure, so I mean I see business happening in the future. I would say so far, we have had probably solid 15-20 good connections so far. The day is not fully over so I am sure there is more to come but yeah definitely good quality and I think there is good business looking forward to. Thanks. Solid 9 out of 10, very easy. Everyone has been so super helpful, and it’s been good to navigate and can’t complain
Talent Enterprise
Consultant for Commercial and Client Success,
Every year the event seems to get better, the quality of delegates is really, best each year that I come. The quality of the delegates is second to none. It’s not only the quality it’s the level of interaction you get to have the delegates. In other events, usually people don’t necessarily want to come to the booth, here at HR Tech MENA they want to come and join you and have a good conversation with you at the booth. The connections I made yesterday were substantial and I see business deriving from that list of contacts from yesterday.
Ingentis
VP Sales & Partnering,
We are working with QNA for 4 years, and we are became a business partner more than sponsoring events, QNA events across the region alway having a high profile contacts, very good engagement and high value of ROI investment, also the session they are organizing is very useful for enhancing our service profile based on contacts feedback. Many thanks.

MetLife
Head of Employee Benefits
The caliber of the audience, the diversity of the organisations which are represented and the conversations we have had have been phenomenal. We’ve got the chance to of course tell a story and more importantly listen to what all of our customers have to say about their journey and what kind of support they look from a company like Microsoft.
Microsoft
Business Group Director – Modern Work & Security
This is my first face-to-face event after almost two plus years and it has been fantastic. I think and you guys have done a great job in hosting this event and making us feel safe. Listening to the panelists and the sessions as well and to know what the trends are in the field of HR, and in the field of HR Technology has been a great experience.
SITA
HR Director – Middle East, Turkey, India & Africa
I think this particular event has gone beyond what we were actually expecting in many ways. It had a great mix of speakers both international as well as people who are representing the country in this particular region. You also had a good mix of topics, right from digital to touch, and any of these topics were well mixed and well-researched very apt and relevant to the stakeholders, and representing global HR challenges.
ZingHR
Chief Operating Officer
It’s a wonderful conference, one of the few conferences that I’ve been through were all the conference halls are packed. Good quality crowd, across the board engagements, and some good conversations. All in all it’s been a quite a journey for us and lovely interaction with everybody.

The experience at the HR Tech MENA Summit has been fantastic. I think the energy is good, there are a lot of HR practitioners who are here and I think it is really a good community of people who try to understand about HR best practices as well as HR Technology so I think it was a good audience. Overall, I would give a ten on ten! I met a lot of people and I am absolutely looking forward to future collaborations. I absolutely see business happening for us from this event.
Oracle Corporation
Director – Applications Strategy & Innovation Head – ECEMEA
It’s been a great experience. You’ve got a great group of folks across the industry. We’ve been really pleasantly surprised with the networking opportunity, especially the chance to visit with senior HR leaders and talk about key trends that are impacting their space. The attendance has been fantastic. Over the course of two days, we have come across 200 or so different delegates! We believe from this event there is an opportunity not only to connect directly with some of the largest employers in the marketplace but also there is an opportunity for us to drive really creative value for the industry. It’s been a great partnership with QnA International. You’ll definitely see us again next year! We believe that there is a ROI delivery from this event and we’re going to see that pay off in the future for us.
MetLife Gulf Region
Head of Employee Benefits
It has been an excellent experience. I have been to quite a few conferences and seminars all around the globe but this was really one of the best events I have ever been to! I think QnA International has paid great attention to bring together the most talented HR executives here. I think we will create some good projects for some big customers here and we really have a lot of leads. This really is one of the greatest events I have ever been to because I have been to quite a few HR seminars all around (in Europe, in Turkey), this was very well organized, the QnA team did a great job.
Bigg Loyalty
CEO
The summit has been fantastic! It has been a great opportunity to showcase our software and talk to delegates here about how we can help them with their HR needs. The attendees are of very high quality, we are certainly talking to the right people. This is not just a case of seeing suppliers, the delegates here have the opportunity to get educated about the latest HR trends. We will certainly be here again next year! It has been a fruitful experience overall.
Emirates HR
CEO
The event has just started and this morning, we have met around 25 people already so it’s been going very fast. We have definitely got some very good leads. I think this particular event is more targeted so that you have a smaller group of people but nurtured in a very good way. The HR Tech MENA has a good combination of suppliers with added value but with the right decision makers, so I think overall that’s a good fit! The event is a door opener.
MobieTrain
Founder and CEO
We’re really impressed and so far everybody we have spoken to has been reverent which is fantastic. The quality of the delegates, I’m really impressed with. This is the probably the first conference I have been to where everybody who comes to our booth is exactly the right designation and the people that we want to talk to. The networking session has been very busy, we’ve already got meetings lined up for next week. We absolutely expect to get some return of investment from this event. There is a lot of higher quality delegates at the HR Tech MENA. We’ll definitely be back next year!
Biz Group Middle East
It was my honor to speak at the summit today. Great speakers and amazing crowd. And most importantly, the way that the event was organized was astonishing! Taking all the measures to keep everybody safe. Good job QnA International!

Director General of Human Resources
Attending HR Tech MENA Summit during COVID-19 pandemic, helped us to move from a fear zone into a growth zone where we started to think of others and make our talents available to help them, and look after new ways to adapt changes. We have learned, connected to others, and got inspired by the rich topics discussed during the summit.

The new - era of 'masked networkers'. Had a great time catching up friends during the recent HR Tech MENA Summit.

It has been my first time at this summit and it will definitely not be my last time. I met different people from different organizations and it was really amazing to see that we all share the same thoughts and ideas. I met so many people, I have so many business cards as well. I met more than 50 people who I actually spoke to but in terms of interactions, I’m sure I have covered a lot of people around here. The quality of the attendees is absolutely fantastic! The QnA International team is honestly fabulous, they are very well organized and have been on top of everything. The whole experience has been mesmerizing. It has been beneficial, extremely creative and innovative.

The Future of Work is central to what we do at the Ministry, recently the UAE Government has launched Vision 2071 and one of the central pieces is the future of work. At the HR Tech MENA Summit, there were some interesting discussions about what the future of work would be and how the employers and policy makers can be prepared to act accordingly.

We are very happy with the outcome and the level of people that turned up. It is the right audience we targeted as SAP success factors, as we engage with the HR leaders of this country to have a conversation on how we can provide them with help with focusing on people development in their organizations. The quality of the attendees is very high, it is exactly what we were hoping for. Our booth was really swarmed with people who are interested in listening to our story, hearing about our customers, so we were very happy with the number of people that turned up. We are really looking forward to the outcome of this event and participating in such future events. I definitely see business happening for us from this event I would definitely say that the level of HR people attending this event is very high. It has been a refreshing experience!
SAP
Head of SAP SuccessFactors. Middle East South
I love this event, by far on of the best I have attended in Dubai, the topic is really clear – HR Technology. Had some great conversations with a lot of very experienced HR leaders and it was a great experience. As an enterprise organization, we want to focus on senior folks from large organizations and that is the kind of conversations we had since the attendees were of senior level. As a lot of organizations in the Middle East are digitizing, modernizing and it is a great time to have this conference.
IBM
It has been a great experience. The panel discussions are important for people to learn from.

I have been attending so many conferences since the past 20 years now, I can easily say this is one of the best organizations I have ever met. I find that the overall attendees at this event are very high profile. QnA International has been doing a very professional job, since the beginning they have been very informative. It has been a very insightful experience

Aujan Coca-Cola
I have to say it has been a very energizing experience. I think it is great to meet people who are on the same wavelength, we are all cut from the same cloth and I think to be surrounded in a conference room with very like-minded people really gives you that boost again. The quality of the overall attendees was fantastic, it was a good range of industries.
Kerzner International
It has been a great experience. I want to get to know the latest trends in HR and the only place you can get that is here. I met between 50 to 80 people overall. The networking doesn’t end here, it starts here. We already have two tentative deals for which we have already set next meetings, so it has been great. I love QnA and what they do. They are highly, highly professional.
Salam Air
The HR Tech MENA Summit was amazing, great speakers, great engagement, a lot of sponsors present here and overall it was very well executed. As the region is rapidly evolving, this event had HR, IT, vendors all coming together to have relevant discussions on solutions available to move HR away from process based function. Usually tech summits are boring, but this summit was very engaging.
Emaar Hospitality Group
The HR Tech MENA Summit was a very interesting event, as it brought together the collaboration between HR and Technology which was really interesting. This event had many HR and IT leaders for networking as well as some interesting sponsors. So many interesting topics were discussed at the conference and I would like to come back to experience this again.

The attendees at the event are of very high quality. We get feedback from the best people in their field. QnA International is very professional and they can do very successful events all the time. It was a very great experience with very innovative ideas.
