Our Formation

Starting as a one woman show, DiaEdu was founded by Christel Have in the early 2000s. After working as a Professional Conference Organizer (PCO) in one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world, she decided to utilize her industry expertise to transform the healthcare system of a young nation. Thus forming DiaEdu, a portmanteau of Diabetes Education that was initially set up to promote diabetes awareness in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through impactful scientific education conferences.

Our Evolution

Due to the existing gap, we ventured into various healthcare sectors based on word-of-mouth referrals.

Based on popular demand, we diversified into other corporate industries with our first Fintech conference.

First of its kind, DiaEdu fueled scientific education in the region as a dedicated PCO for Diabetes.

In order to gain competitive advantage, we developed innovative event technology solutions 

We are now, undeniably, the leading event management company in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
