Organized entirely by The Diwan, the Gulf Creatives Conference (GCC) @ Harvard stood as the largest Gulf-focused gathering in the United States. Over three days, the conference hosted 150+ speakers and over 1,000 attendees, bringing together diplomats, executives, policymakers, academics, and young leaders from across the Gulf and around the world.

The program featured high-level panels, interactive workshops, and networking sessions that explored the Gulf’s rapidly evolving economic, diplomatic, and cultural landscape. From discussions on investment and energy to youth leadership and regional cooperation, the conference provided a comprehensive platform for engaging with the opportunities and challenges shaping the GCC’s future.

The event marked a major milestone in The Diwan’s mission to create meaningful, globally connected dialogue about the Arab world.
