About us

Celebrating Over A Decade of Putting People First

For over a decade, GOV HR Summit has been at the forefront of sharing best practices from GCC’s Government and Public sector Entities on Connecting People with Performance!

As we move into our 12th Annual, we are thrilled to announce that the two powerhouses GOV Youth Summit and GOV HR Summit are joining. This ground-breaking collaboration will see young professionals working in Government and public sector entities joining the summit with seasoned HR experts, youth leaders, heads of the ministries and other key government officials to share their knowledge, expertise, and insights and work towards our mission of continuing conversations for tomorrow by engaging the now and future leaders under one roof.

Since its inception, GOV HR Summit has grown into a powerhouse connecting over 4500 HR professionals through the years to create meaningful change and drive HR transformation and now, in tandem with the GOV YOUTH EMPOWERMENT, the summit propels the progress of the GCC region into the helm of global leadership and as a superpower. Supporting the vision of the most prudent leaders of the region, the collaborative annual of the GOV HR and GOV Youth Empowerment Summit will once again serve as a high-level, knowledge-sharing platform, bringing together top government leaders and decision makers from across the GCC to share, discuss and showcase their organization’s innovative Human Capital strategy and Youth Action Initiatives while keeping youth, our future leaders, at the heart of the business.
