Editorial criteria

We publish what is worth a founder's calendar slot. We do not publish:

  • Generic networking events without a clear founder benefit.
  • Pay-to-attend promotional events without ecosystem substance.
  • Events outside the MENA region (with rare cross-border exceptions).
  • Recurring events that have not been refreshed since the previous edition.
