DIHAD vs IFC 2026

The World's Leading Event on Humanitarian Aid & Development Join us for the 22nd Edition of the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid and Development Conference & Exhibition (DIHAD 2026), held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, and Ruler of Dubai, from 24–26 August 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. DIHAD 2026 will be held under the theme “Humanitarianism in Transition: Shaping the Future of Humanitarian Action”, featuring sessions, discussions, and presentations. Anticipated to draw over 21,000 attendees from 160 participating countries, DIHAD 2026 promises to be a momentous occasion, bringing together NGOs, UN agencies, the Red Cross and Red Crescent, charity organizations, governmental bodies, and private sector entities involved in aid and development. For more than two decades, DIHAD has stood at the forefront of humanitarian dialogue, bringing together decision-makers, global leaders, practitioners, policymakers, innovators, and frontline responders from around the world. It serves as a dynamic ecosystem where ideas transform into action, partnerships flourish, and collective efforts address the most urgent humanitarian and development challenges of our time. DIHAD is more than an event; it is a global movement committed to advancing resilience, innovation, and collaboration across borders and sectors to create sustainable solutions that leave no one behind.

The official app for the International Fundraising Congress 2026, the world's longest-running social impact event for fundraisers, campaigners, activists, and changemakers. As the pace of change accelerates and the challenges humanity faces rise, life-saving programmes are being stripped of funding and hard-won gains in diversity, equity, inclusion, and access are under attack. Fundraising cannot afford to stand still. At IFC 2026, we’re bringing together the brightest minds, the boldest ideas, and the most innovative new strategies to reshape and secure the future of social impact. The International Fundraising Congress comprises four days of rich and innovation-led learning and sharing, brilliantly curated by the independent IFC Advisory Panel, a group of leading fundraisers from across the globe. Held annually in Noordwijk in the Netherlands, IFC 2026 will give you the opportunity to connect with fundraisers and social impact leaders all over the world, both in person and online. Will you be part of it?
