Since its launch in 2004 under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, DIHAD (Dubai International Humanitarian Aid and Development Conference & Exhibition) has grown into the leading global event dedicated to humanitarian aid and development.

Now gearing up for its 21st edition, DIHAD 2025 will take place from 29 April to 1 May 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, bringing together humanitarian leaders, global organizations, and innovators from around the world.

Theme for 2025: Humanitarian Aid and Development in a Polarised World

This year’s theme addresses one of the most pressing issues of our time — how to deliver effective humanitarian aid in a world facing growing divisions. DIHAD 2025 will focus on collaboration, innovation, and shared responsibility, offering a space where global actors can unite to break down barriers and drive meaningful impact.
