“Success is measured not by wealth alone, but by the impact we create and the lives we uplift.” – Anna Morgenstern
In the fast-moving, innovation-driven world of corporate events, media and philanthropy, few leaders embody the rare combination of strategic vision, operational acumen and purpose-driven leadership that Anna Morgenstern demonstrates. From her earliest ventures, she has been guided by a singular philosophy: success is meaningful only when it empowers others, sparks creativity, and leaves a lasting legacy. It is this guiding principle that has propelled her to transform the creative landscape of the UAE and establish herself as a trailblazer whose influence extends far beyond her own enterprises.
The Power of Vision: How Anna Morgenstern is Shaping the UAE’s Creative and Media Landscape
When Anna assumed leadership of The Space Events & Sports in 2019, she recognised an opportunity that many had overlooked. The UAE’s corporate and creative event landscape was fragmented, with venues, production teams and content creators often operating in silos, limiting the potential for genuinely transformative experiences. Anna envisioned more than a venue; she imagined a hub where collaboration, innovation and human connection could flourish naturally, a place where brands, leaders and teams could be inspired to think differently, challenge assumptions and achieve more. Under her guidance,
The Space has evolved into one of Dubai’s most dynamic destinations for corporate retreats, sporting events and immersive experiences, establishing a benchmark for excellence in event design, execution and experiential storytelling. Initiatives such as Beyond the Boardroom exemplify her belief that innovation is not driven by structures or processes alone, but by creating the conditions in which people can fully unlock their potential. “We wanted to take people out of conventional spaces and enable them to see what is possible when creativity and collaboration are given room to flourish,” she explains.
Expanding the Vision: Space LIVE Productions
Building on this vision, Anna expanded her creative empire in 2025 with the launch of Space LIVE Productions, a state-of-the-art media and event production studio in Dubai Marina. The studio, offering 12K ultra-HD capabilities, drone cinematography, multi-camera live switching and end-to-end production solutions, reflects her belief that technology should serve creativity, not constrain it. In its inaugural year, Space LIVE Productions became the broadcast hub for a world-record-breaking sporting event featuring former Olympic boxer Tony Jeffries, quickly cementing its reputation as a powerhouse in live media. Yet for Anna, the defining distinction of her ventures is not technology, but the people who bring it to life. “Our team is the heartbeat of everything we do,” she observes. “It is their passion, ingenuity and dedication that turn ideas into experiences that truly resonate.”
Even as she builds businesses, Anna’s leadership is rooted in a profound sense of responsibility. She approaches success not as a personal achievement, but as a platform to create impact and give back. In 2025, she partnered with The Child Fund UAE to support life-saving healthcare initiatives for children, reinforcing her belief that business growth and philanthropy are inseparable. “Money is not a goal – it is a tool to drive opportunity, impact and positive change,” she reflects. Her approach exemplifies a new standard of leadership: one that balances strategic vision, operational excellence and human-centred values, demonstrating that ambition and altruism can coexist and amplify one another.
