Teachers from the UAE will join colleagues from around the world at an education forum in Singapore.
Those working under the Cambridge qualifications system will gather for the annual Cambridge Schools Conference in October.
The event, "Educating today's learners for tomorrow's world", will focus on the development of education through the effective use of technology.
The two-day event will include panel discussions and keynote presentations from experts, and will allow teachers to exchange ideas.
Farhat Jadoon, the head of Goodwill Children Private School in Abu Dhabi, took part in the event last year and said staff would benefit immensely from the conference.
"It was a great opportunity to interact with professionals from all over the world and learn from them," he said.
"Sometimes you can be isolated from current issues and developments. The conferences are a good way to address this and make sure we all do our best for students."
Dr Tristian Stobie, the director of education at Cambridge International Examinations, said the conference was a vital networking event for teachers in countries such as the UAE, where the school demographics are so diverse.
"Cambridge Schools conferences are valued by teachers as excellent professional development and networking opportunities," he said.
"They are successful because of the expertise and enthusiasm brought to them by teachers who represent a wide variety of countries and cultures.
"While students need to be educated for an increasingly global world, schools operate in very specific local and cultural settings that give them their own unique and special identity. Education has to be both local and global."
