Pepperstone to host Final Lap Night private end-of-year event at Dubai’s new AI restaurant
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Dec 9: Pepperstone, a global online broker, will celebrate the end of a milestone year with an exclusive, invite-only “Final Lap Night” on 8 December 2025, hosted at Dubai’s new AI-driven dining concept, WOOHOO – Dine in the Future, an immersive restaurant experience that uses artificial intelligence to orchestrate ambience, service and storytelling throughout the evening.
Curated in collaboration with Emirati entrepreneur Sara Al Madani, the evening will convene Pepperstone clients, partners and guests for a private networking experience that blends cutting-edge dining, motorsport-inspired energy and future-focused conversation. The partnership with Al Madani underscores Pepperstone’s commitment to working alongside local leaders who share a vision for pushing the boundaries of what is possible at the intersection of technology, experience and business.
At the heart of the evening will be a live on-stage panel, featuring Tamas Szabo, Pepperstone Group CEO, Sara Al Madani, Gescard Abi El Hessen, Head of MENA at Pepperstone, and Formula One figure Pedro de la Rosa. The panel will explore how innovation, data and experience are reshaping both financial markets and customer expectations across the region.
“Final Lap Night is our way of celebrating a landmark year for Pepperstone in the UAE and setting the tone for where we’re headed next,” said Gescard Abi El Hessen, Head of MENA at Pepperstone. “Hosting our community at an AI-powered restaurant like WOOHOO reflects how we think about the future: immersive, technology-led and relentlessly focused on elevating the client experience. It’s an opportunity to bring together the people who have been part of our journey this year, and to have forward-looking conversations about what the next phase of growth in the region could look like.”
The evening will run from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and will include networking, curated entertainment and an exclusive first-hand experience of the venue’s AI-enabled dining journey. Guests will have the opportunity to connect with Pepperstone’s leadership team and regional representatives in an informal setting, build new connections, and engage directly with the themes discussed on stage. Framed around the idea of a “final lap”, the event is intended to both close out the year on a high note and accelerate momentum into the year ahead.
