Kai Kata: Ras Al Khaimah's conference and forum platform

Kai Kata is Ras Al Khaimah's conference, forum and awards platform. It brings government, investors, CEOs and founders into the same room through four flagship programmes: the Growth Series (investment, free zones, manufacturing and trade), the MENA Climate Summit (net-zero transition and climate technology), the Influencer Marketing Awards (creators and the business of influence) and The Leaders Forum (by-invitation leadership conversations). Kai Kata works in collaboration with RAKEZ and other RAK authorities, and its events are where local ambition turns into regional partnerships.

How to get involved

Attend

Most Kai Kata events are open to delegates. Check the event pages on kaikatarak.com for the next edition and register early — seats are limited by design.

Speak

Email solutions@kaikatarak.com with your topic and audience. The programme is curated, so a clear, specific proposal wins over a generic one.

Sponsor or partner

Sponsorship puts your brand in front of government, investors and CEOs. Kai Kata also builds custom rooms for partners who want their own forum.
