SECOND EDITION: SEPTEMBER 28 2026 , 6-8pm, Brain & Performance Centre, a DP World Company
Elite athletes optimise their brain and body with data and protocols. Leaders operating under the same intensity rarely do.
This evening looks at what happens when you apply that thinking at executive level: how cognitive performance can be measured, strengthened and sustained, and what the evidence behind it actually says.
Dr. Umair Qureshi speaks on hyperbaric and performance medicine. Then the room opens up.
We are hosting it inside The Brain & Performance Centre, home to one of the region's most advanced Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy facilities, accredited by the Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society. You will get a private tour of the clinic, including the hyperbaric chambers.

An evening for C-levels bold enough to challenge the status quo of engagement, leadership, and culture in the UAE.
Forget the gurus. Forget the LinkedIn-friendly narratives.
BRAVOS // OFF RECORD is where like-minded leaders gather when they’re ready to switch gear.
It’s not about answers. It’s about better questions — because if we want better work, we need better conversations.
BRAVOS // OFF RECORD happens behind closed doors — where the stakes are real, the language is honest, and the community is growing.
You’re not just attending — you’re co-creating the future of work.
We blend unique voices with fast-paced interactions in an unusual setting, paired with curated food and drinks.
