PlanX Conference 2026 x 24six9 Dubai Chapter: Idea Lab

​A collaboration between PlanX Conference 2026 and 24six9 Dubai Chapter where we're bringing you Idea Lab on the Growth Stage.

​Idea Lab is the 24six9 meet-up where founders put an idea on the table and open it up to the room. No polished decks, no rehearsed pitches [or you can rehearse if you like]. Just a raw concept shared with a group of peers who will dig into it from EVERY angle.

​The goal isn’t just validation, but clarity. Surface the weaknesses while they’re still cheap to fix, find the blind spots, and walk away knowing whether you’re onto something - or onto something even better than you thought.

​Oh, and sometimes the best part is who you end up building with might be in that very room *wink wink*

​

​Want to be that Brave Pitcher bringing their idea/concept into the light? Fill out this form by November 21, 2026, 2pm: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/qABu5LiuR7

​Rules of the game:
1. Pitch verbally or with a slide deck and tell us all what you've been stuck on with your concept
2. You will have 4-mins to pitch and 6-mins of feedback
3. Gentle reminder: Your idea/concept should be in the tech/deep-tech/AI & Innovation realm
4. You'll be asked, before you start, what you're looking for

​Just want to be part of the feedback loop? Register right here on Luma.

​Who should attend:
Founders, aspiring founders, failed founders, investors, and overall curious minds in tech - come ready.
