BY INVITATION
The SCPMI Table Dubai
Thursday 8 October 2026 · 6:00 PMAtlantis, The Palm
An evening of conversation and dinner with the people shaping supply chains across the Emirates, hosted by Douglas Kent, Chief Executive Officer of SCPMI.
A STRONGER SUPPLY CHAIN. A BRIGHTER TOMORROW.
ABOUT THE EVENING
A seat at the table.
For years, supply chain and procurement leaders have asked for a seat at the table. This evening, we are setting one.
Few places move as much of the world’s trade as the UAE. Its ports, airports and free zones connect three continents, and the people running the supply chains behind them solve problems at a pace most of the world never sees. They rarely get the chance to talk them through with each other.
The SCPMI Table brings a small group of those leaders together for one evening. A short welcome from our host, then an open, unhurried conversation about what the region's supply chains need next and the talent it will take to get there, followed by dinner.
No stage. No slides. Just the right people around the table.
WHY JOIN US
The right people
A small, invited group of senior supply chain and procurement leaders from across the Emirates.
A real conversation
No presentations and no panels. An open discussion, where what is said in the room stays in the room.
The start of something
The first SCPMI Table in Dubai, and the beginning of a community built By Professionals, For Professionals.
YOUR HOST
Douglas Kent
