Beirut, Lebanon – April 2026
The Beirut Business Forum (BBF) officially launches as the Levant’s newest and most unusual gathering for leaders, innovators, creatives, and decision-makers shaping tomorrow’s business landscape. Held on April 8–9, 2026 at the Seaside Arena, BBF introduces a new standard of thought leadership: one rooted not in routine, but in reinvention – in the most surprising ways.
Emerging from a region known for its unconventional and creative momentum, the Forum centers around a simple belief: the future belongs to leaders who do business the unusual way.
A New Kind of Forum for a New Kind of Leader
BBF brings together global pioneers, regional powerhouses, and cross-industry disruptors for two days of keynotes, conversations, workshops, and cultural moments that challenge the traditional conference formula.
Rather than predict the future, the Forum aims to provoke it: exploring how leadership, creativity, technology, culture, collaboration, and emerging markets shape the next era of business.
What Makes BBF “Business Unusual”?
• Cross-industry collisions designed to spark fresh thinking
• World-class speakers sharing real stories, not rehearsed scripts
• Workshops and sessions that cut through jargon and deliver actionable frameworks
• Rooms and conversations curated with intent, so networking becomes optimal and exclusive
• Cultural and entertainment moments that celebrate the region’s creative DNA
• A platform for global and local voices to meet, challenge, and inspire one another
“Beirut has always been a city of contradictions, and that’s exactly why it’s the perfect home for a forum built on bold ideas and unusual energy,” said the BBF Founding Team. “This isn’t business as usual. It’s business unusual, the type that cuts deeper, the leadership that moves faster – and brings people together in ways that matter.”
What Attendees Can Expect
• Keynotes from global leaders redefining their fields
• Panels tackling the tough questions shaping industries
• Workshops on AI, leadership, innovation, and future-ready strategy
• Off-book conversations and book signings

A Forum for a Region on the Rise
As the region rewrites its economic and creative story, BBF becomes the room where it actually gets written. Not in theory. In real time. By people who build, back, scale, and challenge things for a living.
