Over 60 world-class speakers and $50 billion in entrepreneurial influence come together at Canadian University Dubai for the world’s largest personal branding summit
Brand Me Summit 2025, the world’s leading event dedicated to personal branding and purpose-driven growth, returns to Canadian University Dubai on November 22–23 with a powerful new mission: advancing refugee education through a strategic collaboration with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. This year, the summit expects more than 5,000 attendees and over 60 international entrepreneurs, creators, and business leaders, making it one of Downtown Dubai’s most influential gatherings.
The collaboration with UNHCR comes at a critical time. With over 123 million people displaced globally and only 9% of refugees accessing higher education, Brand Me Summit has pledged 10% of all proceeds to support UNHCR’s “Aim Higher” initiative. The summit positions education as the catalyst for transformation unlocking opportunities for individuals, communities, and the next generation of global leaders.
“This year’s summit is more than an event—it’s a movement,” said Ghazi Yaman, Co-Founder of Brand Me Summit. “Our theme, ‘Transform from Unknown to Unstoppable,’ reflects every person striving for a second chance, including refugees rebuilding their lives through education.”
Reinforcing this mission, Canadian University Dubai will award 50 full scholarships to refugee students, strengthening the summit’s commitment to meaningful, long-term impact. CUD will also host a university-wide entrepreneurship competition, offering winning students funding and incubation through the CUD Innovation Hub.
Professor Karim Chelli, President and Vice Chancellor of CUD, emphasized the power of education as a force for global change: “When aligned with compassion and purpose, education has no borders. Together with UNHCR and Brand Me Summit, we’re shaping a future where knowledge becomes a bridge to opportunity.”
Brand Me Summit 2025 features a powerful lineup of global trailblazers including:
- Eric Edmeades, world-renowned entrepreneur and founder of WILDFIT
- Toufic Kreidieh, CEO & Co-Founder, Brands for Less Group
- Alistair Overeem, World Champion MMA Fighter
- Saygin Yalcin, Founder of SellAnyCar.com
- Adel Sajan, Director of Danube Group

Summit Co-Founders Ayman and Ghazi Yaman will close the event with a masterclass on personal transformation and redefining influence in the modern era. “My mission is to make mentorship accessible to everyone,” said Ayman Yaman. “This summit gives people the tools to rise higher, no matter where they begin.”
