Founding Mission Sponsorship
Position your organization alongside a curated executive delegation during Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2026, when the global capital community gathers in Abu Dhabi. Founding Sponsorship covers the full mission and includes sponsorship of the Hedge Fund Association Reception, valued at US$5,000. Sponsors gain visibility before, during and after the mission through the Reception, the Gateway Leaders' Dinner, the mission materials and direct business development with the delegation. Founding Sponsorship is an organizational package. It does not include a delegate seat. Every representative of a sponsoring organization who attends the mission purchases an executive delegate seat separately.
plus US$6,500 per attending executive, invoiced separately. Includes sponsorship of the Hedge Fund Association Reception, valued at US$5,000.
