Brews, Views & Community
High-impact events connecting fund managers, allocators, family offices, and ecosystem partners across the UAE investment management industry.
The UAE fund management ecosystem needed a better room.
Brews, Views & Community was built around a simple principle community first. Free to attend, highly curated, and designed to bring together the people genuinely building the region’s investment management industry; fund managers, allocators, family offices, service providers, and ecosystem partners looking to build real relationships and do real business.
The format is deliberately different. No long panels. No exhibition stands. No losing an entire day walking around a conference collecting business cards. Instead: high-quality networking, curated introductions, focused fireside discussions with senior industry leaders, and meaningful conversations all delivered within three hours.
The success of the series has come from one thing above all else: the quality of people in the room. The conversations are sharper, the relationships are more genuine, and the outcomes are materially better because the events are built for the ecosystem itself.
Join us for the next event.
Brews, Views & Community continues across Abu Dhabi and Dubai throughout the summer, bringing together fund managers, allocators, family offices, and ecosystem partners shaping the future of the UAE investment management industry.
Attendance remains intentionally capped to preserve the quality of conversation, networking, and introductions within the room.
If you're a fund manager
The allocators in the room are actively deploying capital across the region and internationally. Most institutional allocations do not begin with a formal process they begin with relationships built over time through repeated interaction and trusted introductions.
These events are designed to create that environment. The room is curated deliberately, bringing together serious participants building long-term businesses within the UAE and broader Middle East ecosystem.
If you're an allocator
The fund managers in the room are serious about institutionalisation and building properly from day one. Many are actively working with East Emblem or have already been through our operational and governance process.
The conversations therefore move beyond surface-level networking into how firms are actually being built governance, infrastructure, operational controls, investor readiness, and long-term strategy.
If you're a service provider or ecosystem partner
The room brings together the people actively building the regional fund management industry fund managers, allocators, operating partners, and infrastructure providers. The format is intentionally relationship-driven, creating more meaningful engagement than traditional conference sponsorship or broad networking events.
