What Reflect Festival does

Reflect Festival is a Cyprus-based event organizer founded in 2017 that produces annual tech and entrepreneurship summits connecting founders, investors, and operators across Europe and the Middle East. Its flagship event, Doers Summit, is scheduled for November 25-26, 2026 at Dubai Silicon Oasis with an expected 10,000+ attendees, 4 programming stages, and 150+ exhibitors. The event is organized under The Doers Company and is supported by the Doers United mobile companion app, which provides attendees with interactive agenda, "smart networking," real-time announcements, attendee chat, and venue maps. The audience is curated and disclosed at 50% founders, 30% operators, and 20% investors.

The business model is event-driven and bilateral. On the demand side, the company sells tickets through four attendee categories (Startups, Investors, Operators, General Attendees) via its website. On the supply side, it runs a sponsor/exhibitor program with 150+ exhibitor slots and a "Partner With Us" inbound channel for enterprise sponsorship leads. The brand is associated with major enterprise logos in its "As Seen On" media section (Microsoft, Adobe, HSBC, LinkedIn, Cloudflare, Nespresso). Marketing is multi-channel: website, email newsletter, and the Doers United app. Forward expansion is signaled through additional planned editions in Limassol and Athens, indicating a multi-city event portfolio strategy.
