In the UAE, Step Conference requires little introduction. But how did the darling of the Dubai tech scene calendar actually get started? What happened to the English and Arabic content websites? And what was it like running such a popular and successful conference … only to have COVID-19 shut down, well, pretty much everything. Ray Dargham, CEO and founder of Step Conference provides the inside story on how a student project at AUB has transformed, over time and with a little grit, into something far grander. This is the story of Step Conference from its foundings, to today.

In this conversation Ray Dargham sits with Helen Chen cofounder and ceo of Nomad Homes to walk us through her journey of moving from Silicon Valley to Dubai to pursue her passion in Real Estate after being an investor with goldman Sachs, China Investment Corporation and Blackstone
