19th edition of Arab Media Forum to be hosted by Dubai.

The United Arab Emirates has set benchmarks in various spheres this year and now it looks to focus on strengthening the media space of the country as Dubai gears up to host the 19th edition of the Arab Media Forum. 

Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is the chairman of the Dubai Media Council, said that as the global advancements in the industry are growing, it is important to develop the Arab media sector  so that it gives a strategic boost to the government decision makers and other institutions related to the media sector. 

“Since its inception, the Arab Media Forum has championed the drive to develop the Arab media sector by highlighting technological advancements, content development trends and solutions for challenges, and promoting dialogue and exchange of expertise at regional and international levels,” said Al Maktoum. 

He spoke about the focus needed to be drawn towards the media sector as the Dubai Press Club prepares for the virtual edition of the Media forum scheduled for December 23. The event will reportedly feature prominent media figures  from all around the world and the region. 

The chairman of the media council also highlighted the important role that the media plays in developing the nation. He said that by adopting effective and balanced media strategies, competitiveness will see a boost on a global scale. 

He added, “As the world embraces the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Arab media sector needs to keep up with technological advancements and solutions to boost their competencies and deal with evolving challenges in a highly competitive industry.”

The main aim behind the virtual event of the Arab Media Forum is to talk about the wide range of topics that are taking place within or outside the region. These topics range from latest technological advancements, innovations, content trends, empowerment of young talent and tolerance and coexistence, says a report. 

This year the event is organised on the theme of ‘Arab media: The Future is digital’ where the event will reportedly explore the areas involving development in different sectors and will also discuss how new opportunities can help in growth. 

The 19th edition of AMF will also discuss challenges that new organizations are facing during this time of significant changes as the national and international environment is continuing to evolve.
