BITEX 2026, the Bahrain International Technology Exhibition, will be held with the MEET ICT Conference at the Gulf Convention Centre at the Gulf Hotel in Manama on 27 and 28 October. The event is organised by Worksmart for Events Management. Several aggregator listings place it at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre; the organiser's own site names the Gulf Convention Centre.
BITEX is Bahrain's main information and communications technology trade exhibition and runs in parallel with the MEET ICT Conference. The 2026 theme is artificial intelligence driving the digital economy of tomorrow, and the programme brings regional ICT vendors, telecoms operators, government digital transformation bodies including the Information and eGovernment Authority, and enterprise technology buyers together over two days.
The event is relevant to executives because Bahrain's government has built its economic strategy around digital services, cloud regulation and fintech, and because many regional technology suppliers use the kingdom as an entry market before scaling into Saudi Arabia. Chief information officers and chief digital officers of banks, telecoms operators and government entities attend alongside the vendors.
Registration and the conference programme are published on the official BITEX site.
