CFI Integrates Live Simulated Trading Floor and Educational Tracks at Inaugural Experia Innovation Expo
The market leader anchors Lebanon’s first interactive tech playground at Forum de Beyrouth with risk-free platform testing, specialized masterclasses, and giveaways.
Beirut, Lebanon: As digital transformation shifts how individuals engage with global economic systems, creating structured, responsible pathways to market literacy has become a priority for the regional financial sector. Addressing this reality, CFI, the leading trading company in Lebanon, has announced its premier participation in the upcoming inaugural edition of Experia taking place between 8 and 10 October 2026. Organizing a live, multi-layered experiential ecosystem, the firm is converting passive tech exposure into an interactive training arena designed to transition complete beginners into informed, disciplined market participants.
Organized by Promofair with the official support of Lebanon's Ministry of Technology & Artificial Intelligence (MITAI), Experia is designed as a hands-on innovation playground moving away from static presentation screens across four core thematic layers: My Life, My Work, My World, and My Government. Aligning with this experiential mandate, the CFI booth will feature a live-simulated trading room alongside a professional networking lounge. Within the trading room, attendees can step behind the screens to navigate live market environments on the MetaTrader 5 platform using risk-free demo accounts under the direct guidance of CFI specialists.
Active presence in major national landmarks like Experia is essential for anchoring corporate leadership within Lebanon’s emerging technological ecosystem, stated Katia Kheir, CEO of CFI Lebanon. True market democratization demands a deliberate move away from traditional corporate displays toward active, tangible engagement that supports our broader economic community.
To incentivize disciplined execution under real-time parameters, the trading room will host a three-hour daily demo tournament on Thursday and Friday. Participants will compete to maximize short-term virtual portfolio returns. On Saturday, the competitive format pivots into a financial knowledge Q&A track.
A primary highlight of the 3-day activation is an open-access, capacity-backed educational workshop held in Experia's dedicated workshop hall, functioning as a direct extension of the CFI Academy’s financial-literacy mandate. Led by Omar Ayoub, Financial Market Analyst, , the session is calibrated specifically for individuals with zero prior financial background. Bypassing abstract theory, the workshop delivers a practical, interactive framework taking participants from absolute zero to a complete functional understanding of how a trade operates, how asset classes move, and how to manage risk responsibly.
Our physical presence at this expo perfectly complements the structured financial-literacy foundations we consistently deliver digitally through CFI Academy, noted Georges Khoury, Global Head of Research & Education at CFI. By continuously introducing these on-ground learning environments alongside our advanced online platform, we provide aspiring investors with a fully integrated, multi-dimensional ecosystem to master institutional-grade market skills.
The strongest reason for someone who has never navigated financial markets to participate is the opportunity to move past passive observation, added Omar Ayoub. By blending live, guided simulation in our trading room with practical analytical approaches in the workshop hall, we are ensuring attendees leave with an actionable blueprint for informed market exploration.
The educational masterclass and simulated trading floor experiences are entirely free and open to all of Experia’s 6,000 expected attendees. Due to the capacity limits of the specialized workshop space, attendees looking to secure seating for the educational tracks and reserve active trading stations are encouraged to visit the CFI pavilion early.
