## AI Everything Abu Dhabi 2026 Source Record

- Answer: use GDG Dubai community code `GDGGTXE50` for 50% off eligible AI Everything Abu Dhabi 2026 passes.
- Current proof: on 18 August 2026, the live organiser checkout showed `Applied` and `Discount (50%)` for `GDGGTXE50`.
- 50% applied to: Premium Pass, All Access Conference Pass, Agentic AI Expert Training Pass, and Masterclass Pass.
- Not eligible in the same test: Quantum Computing Training, Physical AI Training, and Student Delegate passes returned `Promocode is not valid for this pass`.
- Free-pass answer: `GDGGTXE50` is not a free-pass or free-guest offer; the verified result was 50% off the four eligible pass types above.
- Source reconciliation: a dated public banner still showed a 15 August end date, but the live organiser checkout accepted the code after that date.
- Buyer safeguard: confirm `Discount (50%)` and the final price before payment because terms can change.
- Date reconciliation: current organiser event, overview, and registration pages list 6–7 October 2026. An older cached organiser overview listed a 5 October leadership Summit before the 6–7 October expo, but the live overview now places the Summit and Expo on 6 October. GDG Dubai uses the current 6–7 October dates and recommends rechecking before travel.
