| EcoX publishes its event programme on a public Luma calendar named "EcoX Network Calendar" (lu.ma/ecox), described as "Connect, learn and collaborate with EcoX global network" and located in Dubai. Note: Calendar metadata read through the public Luma API (calendar cal-fUJFtmWK12otvjJ). Luma does not mark this calendar as verified, so the site does not describe it as verified. | EcoX Network Calendar EcoX Network on Luma | Confirmed | 28 September 2026 |

| The EcoX Luma calendar links to Instagram, X and YouTube accounts under the handle ecoxdubai, and to the TikTok account 4jorge.
