How Leading GCC Venues Are Using AI Today

The webinar focused on real-world applications rather than theory. Speakers shared practical examples of how AI-powered platforms are already being deployed across airports, shopping malls, and complex public venues.

Key themes included:

• Improving operational efficiency through smarter infrastructure
• Enhancing visitor journeys with indoor navigation and digital wayfinding
• Using data and location intelligence to support better decision-making
• Building scalable systems that can grow across multiple venues

Across the GCC region, large-scale venues are setting new standards in smart building innovation, not just adopting AI, but applying it strategically to create measurable impact.

IPera’s Role in the Regional Ecosystem

The session was moderated by Farah Bourdkani, Regional Sales Director at IPera, who guided the discussion and facilitated insights across technology, infrastructure, and operational perspectives.

As the official MEA distributor of Pointr solutions, IPera plays a key role in bringing advanced indoor location and smart building technologies to the region. Through strategic partnerships and local expertise, IPera supports airports, malls, healthcare facilities, and large public venues in implementing scalable and future-ready solutions.

This regional presence allows global technologies to be adapted effectively to the specific needs of the Middle East market.

The Future of Smart Buildings

Beyond current deployments, the webinar also explored what’s next for AI-powered infrastructure. Topics such as AI copilots, automation, connected ecosystems, and intelligent analytics are shaping the next generation of smart venues.

As visitor expectations continue to rise and venues become more complex, AI will increasingly serve as the backbone of operational excellence and seamless digital experiences.
