There are different tiers of access to the two-day event based on the purchased ticket. All information on prices and inclusions can be found here. 

Yes. In addition to the health & safety requirements to arrive in Dubai, proof of negative PCR test will also be required to check-in at the hotel, as well as to access the event venue. Prior to your return, we have organized complementary PCR tests at the hotel. You will be instructed to book your appointment upon check-in.

Health and safety are a priority to us and our global community and we will ensure that all measures set by the local health authorities are adhered to. Ras Al Khaimah is amongst the safest post-pandemic destinations worldwide, as the world’s first safe-city as certified by Bureau Veritas and the first to receive the World Travel and Tourism Council Safe Travels stamp.  In addition to the diligent health and safety measures put into place by the 5-star hotel and conference centre, we will be providing masks and sanitation points throughout the event.

Ras Al Khaimah is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. Located 50 minutes from Dubai and 2h30 minutes from Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah is the region's leading sustainable tourism destination. Situated off the coast of Arabian Gulf and between the Hajjar Mountains, Ras Al Khaimah offers an exceptionally scenic experience with over 7,000 years of fascinating history and culture. It was also named the Gulf Tourism Capital two years in a row, and continues to host a number of prestigious regional and international events every year. 

As it is a very busy season for the UAE, it is highly advisable to book your trip as soon as possible. Most of our international guests arrive in Dubai and book their own transfer by car. There are many reliable and cost-effective services available. Once at the Waldorf Astoria in Ras Al Khaimah, we have arranged transportation between the hotel and the event venue.

Guests will enjoy 5-star accommodations at the Waldorf Astoria depending on the ticket purchased. Rooms are assigned on a first-come first-serve basis. A 2-night stay is offered for the full ticket or 1-night for the Gala-only ticket. Note that if you come earlier or decide to stay longer (there's so much beauty to discover, so we don't blame you) it will be at your own expense. You can also book your own accommodations elsewhere and purchase tickets without accommodations (B1-3).

Yes! The Future in Motion will be GCF's first carbon-conscious event, and set the framework for the organization's long-term Sustainability Strategy. Minimal-to-zero use of single-use plastic and paper, electric vehicles, scooters and carts, eco-friendly and reusable branded gifts, as well as a locally-sourced menu for The Gala. We have also partnered with ABOUT CLIMATE to accurately calculate and offset the remainder of the event's carbon emissions through the planting of Moringa trees.

Although we are at capacity for our Member Platform for 2021, we are delighted to offer guests attending The Future in Motion exclusive benefits for membership in 2022.
