To attend Proof of Talk, you apply: there is no ticket to buy and no price to pay. For Abu Dhabi, on 3–4 December 2026 at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, you use the request access form, and every application is reviewed. The room is capped at 2,000 people.

The steps

  1. Request access. Use the Abu Dhabi request access form. It is the only way in for the Abu Dhabi edition.
  2. Your application is reviewed. Admission is by review, not first come, first served. We do not publish the review criteria as a checklist, and we make no promise that an application is accepted.
  3. You hear back. Accepted guests receive a private access page. We do not publish a decision date here.

How this guide was made
