UAE to host Global Media Conference

Global Media Congress will discuss how traditional media is being disrupted and the path ahead

Media leaders will gather in Abu Dhabi in November for a major conference that aims to reshape the future of the sector.

The Global Media Congress will draw experts from around the world next month to address disruptive media issues such as big data, the metaverse, futurism, e-sports, revenue streams and how artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation could transform the news business.

It aims to draw thousands of attendees, about 200 chief executives and dozens of expert speakers.

The conference will provide a platform for journalists, regulators, content creators, streaming giants and many more to exchange ideas and knowledge and forge partnerships.

“The UAE is home to a thriving media sector with its creative and professional experiences that have matured and evolved over many years,” Noura Al Kaabi, UAE Minister of Culture and Youth, said in a video posted on the event’s website.

The event will feature talks, product launches, workshops, panel debates, sessions dedicated to artificial intelligence and a zone for influencers. It will also seek to discuss how short-form video has changed the media industry featuring analysis from representatives from social media companies TikTok and Twitter.

The Global Media Congress ― from November 15 to 17 ― is organized by Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, in partnership with state news agency Wam and under the patronage of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Presidential Court.
