The Abu Dhabi Retreat
Where Global Capital and Shared Experience Meet
At the Cross-Border Investment Club, we believe the most valuable opportunities begin with trust, genuine connection and meaningful time spent together.
The CBIC F1 Abu Dhabi Family Office Retreat will convene a carefully selected family of principals, next-generation leaders, sovereign and institutional investors, C-suite executives and strategic partners during one of the world’s most internationally significant sporting and social occasions.
As a leading global centre of capital, innovation and long-term investment, Abu Dhabi provides an exceptional setting in which to deepen relationships between the UAE and influential families, investors and business leaders from around the world.
Rather than following the structure of a traditional conference, the retreat brings together business, sport and hospitality in an environment designed to encourage authentic interaction, strategic dialogue and lasting relationships.
The Retreat Experience
Four Days. One Exceptional Setting.
Across the Formula 1 weekend, CBIC will create a highly curated programme of private hospitality, race viewing, introductions, informal discussions and shared experiences.
Participation is intentionally limited, giving guests the time and space to strengthen existing relationships, establish meaningful new connections and explore areas of mutual interest.
Conversations will develop naturally throughout the weekend—from private gatherings and yacht hospitality to dinners, receptions and informal meetings across Abu Dhabi.
Curated Connections
Thoughtfully considered introductions and smaller group conversations shaped around shared interests, international markets and potential areas of strategic alignment.
Shared Experiences
Premium race viewing, private hospitality and social occasions that provide a natural setting in which trust and genuine rapport can develop.
Trackside at Yas Marina
The CBIC VIP Yacht Experience
From an exclusive private berth in one of Yas Marina’s premier trackside locations, the CBIC VIP yacht will provide an exceptional setting from which to experience the Formula 1 season finale.
Across two days of premium yacht hospitality, guests will enjoy direct views of the circuit alongside refined food and beverages, professional onboard service, music, entertainment and carefully curated engagement.
Elegant indoor and outdoor guest areas will provide space for both shared celebration and more private conversation, bringing together global capital, business, innovation, sport and culture within one extraordinary setting.
