Our Executive Summit series bring together the most influential and visionary thought leaders from broadcast and media companies and the world’s best technology suppliers to collaborate and discuss key trends, opportunities and disruptors in an open, non-commercial forum.

This event provides a number of keynote and panel sessions followed by networking.

Agenda

Advocating environment protection using Media as a platform

Presented by Bassam Alas’ad, General Manager/Chief Content Officer, CMS

In a recent report, climate change was featured as the most feared crisis impacting humans and wildlife. The Media, as an industry of influence, should be leading by example to have a positive impact on climate change, but this effort needs extensive collaboration.

And from an influential media and business hub like Dubai, can we inspire the UAE region to set this change in motion in all media sectors across the globe?

Panel discussion moderated by Samia Ayish
