Hollywood star, entrepreneur and producer Ryan Reynolds is set to bring his unique mix of entertainment, creativity and business insight to Abu Dhabi this September as one of the headline speakers at LIVEX 2026.

The inaugural Liveability and Investment Exhibition will take place from September 29 to October 1 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, bringing together more than 100 global speakers to explore the future of cities, investment and quality of life.

Reynolds, best known for films including Deadpool and Free Guy, has also built a strong reputation as an entrepreneur and brand builder. His experience spans entertainment, advertising, investments and businesses, making his appearance particularly relevant to LIVEX’s focus on how creativity, innovation and business can shape the future.

He will be joined by a diverse lineup of international figures, including YouTube co-founder Steve Chen, actor and environmental advocate Adrian Grenier, media personality Tucker Carlson, former Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo and former Bogota mayor Enrique Penalosa.

LIVEX 2026 will focus on six major themes — liveability, culture, education, economy, energy and health — while connecting investors, government leaders, developers, entrepreneurs and industry experts.

The event is expected to welcome more than 20,000 attendees, 1,500 investors and participants from over 50 countries, positioning Abu Dhabi as a major meeting point for conversations around investment and future-ready cities.

With Ryan Reynolds joining the lineup, LIVEX 2026 is set to add a major Hollywood presence to an event focused on Abu Dhabi’s next chapter and the future of how people live, work and invest.
