Voices shaping the movement
Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Ali Al Nuami, The Green Sheikh, shares:
“Abu Dhabi is a bridge between East and West, where innovation meets tradition and humanity answers a higher calling.”
Liora Global Founder, Miche Fox, adds:
“When experience becomes structure and every detail is in service of coherence, we unlock a different kind of intelligence.”
What The HALO Experience Represents
According to the media release, The HALO Experience is built as a “living architecture” – a framework that blends gastronomy, art, tech, wellness, and culture into immersive environments designed to foster meaningful alignment and lasting legacy
It’s not just a networking series — it’s a new blueprint for how people gather with intention.
The Gulf Buzz take
The UAE already hosts some of the world’s most high-profile events, but The HALO Experience brings something different — an intersection of innovation, wellness, and cultural intelligence curated for long-term impact rather than one-off moments.
If you’re plugged into the region’s tech, investment, or wellness scenes, this is one launch series you won’t want to miss.
