Why does Dubai have events everywhere but few places for real belonging

Some events shout their presence; others whisper theirs. The latter always linger in memory.

Amidst the opportunities and events that are presented in the city of Dubai, why do people go home feeling more alone than they arrived?

Look at the weekend guide in Dubai, what you will see are endless lists of openings, galas and mixers. It's a city of events everywhere yet there is a tangible difference between being occupied and being connected.

The reason most events fail to create a sense of belonging is simple: noise. The noise is so much that it leaves you empty of belonging.

When an event is loud, crowded and open access, the human brain goes into survival mode. At that point, one looks at how they can balance and get into the same energy of the event which shrinks their true self.

We stick to the people we already know or we engage in surface-level conversation to fill the silence. In this write-up, we look at how events can be improved into a safe space that allows true belonging.

Controlled numbers: In an event with open access for everyone, numbers are rarely controlled thus having crazy crowds. For one looking for a true connection, you can't feel 'seen' in such a crazy and noisy environment.

A calm environment: Real connection requires an atmosphere where the nervous system can settle. Such an environment allows a deep connection that starts from self-reflection to solution sharing thus achieving the goal.
