The second edition of the Emirates Agriculture Conference and Exhibition (EmiratesACE) will take place from 22 to 26 April 2026 at ADNEC Centre Al Ain.

EmiratesACE 2026 aims to connect the entire food value chain. The event will support farmers, livestock owners and aquaculture professionals, while encouraging partnerships with national food companies and boosting local production.

This year’s edition is built around four priorities: strengthening farmer participation, enhancing visitor engagement through interactive experiences, expanding agricultural education, and promoting entrepreneurship among young innovators.

The programme will feature five dedicated tracks covering farmers, education, community engagement, business and start-ups, and international cooperation. Highlights include a knowledge conference, an agricultural exhibition, an Emirati farmers’ market, a youth innovation space and a pavilion showcasing global best practices.

Al Ain, home to more than 11,000 farms and a strong agricultural academic community, was chosen for its strategic role as the UAE’s farming heartland.

EmiratesACE 2026 aims to move beyond exhibition format and become a national platform shaping the future of sustainable agriculture in the UAE.
