Am I missing something crucial here? Why does Dubai (or any country) need a specific conference building for that occasion when there likely are offices/buildings with the capacity already? For football, okay, you can't have a championship just on the concrete outside the city. But conferences just require seating, electricity and enough space to fit the attendants. That doesn't seem like a problem that would require a solution in Dubai.

And it's doubly dumb knowing the conference's topic. All vapid posturing. I hope I can be proven wrong.
