The room where Gulf capital connects.

Curated. Confidential. Capital.

The Diwan is a private membership council for senior investors, investment managers and business leaders shaping cross-border opportunities across the GCC.

Private Investment Council

The Diwan is a private investment council built around one principle: the quality of the room matters.

Membership brings senior decision-makers into a year-round GCC community of investors, investment managers, CEOs and strategic business leaders.

Throughout the year, The Diwan convenes small, private Councils in key GCC markets — creating the setting for serious conversations, trusted relationships and cross-border opportunities.

Follows Presence.

A Year Around Council.

One membership.
One community.

The Diwan operates throughout the year, convening private Councils across the GCC.

Each Council brings together a carefully composed group of senior principals for a focused boardroom conversation followed by a private dinner.

Members are not buying tickets to individual events. They are joining a continuing investment community.

A Year Around Council.

90 minutes of conversation.
An evening around the table.

Each Diwan Council is deliberately intimate.

The evening begins with a 90-minute closed boardroom conversation, conducted under the Chatham House Rule, followed by a private four-course dinner.

No stages.
No panels.
No exhibition floor.
No microphones.

Just a carefully selected room and a conversation worth having.
