ABU DHABI: The Global Media Congress 2023 (GMC 2023) will be held from Nov 14 to 16 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).
Returning for its second year, the three-day event will see the participation of a roster of the world’s top industry leaders, specialists, and influencers, in addition to academics, youth, and university students.
Organised by ADNEC Group in partnership with the Emirates News Agency (WAM), GMC 2023 will examine the latest developments in the media sector and its prospects, building on the resounding success of the GMC’s inaugural edition.
Over the course of three days, the Congress will discuss several key themes, focusing on issues related to environmental conservation, climate, innovation, artificial intelligence, and utilising sports in media to promote positive values, according to WAM.
The Congress will highlight the role of media in spreading positive values and enriching various sustainability concepts related to environmental and climate issues.
It also provides a one-of-a-kind platform for national, regional, and international media outlets to produce forecasts for the global media sector and highlighting its pivotal role in accelerating sustainable development worldwide, and to forge partnerships among global media players.
Mohammed Jalal Al Rayssi, Director-General of WAM and Chairman of the GMC Higher Organising Committee, said the event testifies the UAE’s well-established position as a vibrant hub for the media industry and future forecasting, cementing the UAE’s leading position as a preferred destination for creatives, innovators, and talents in the media industry globally.
He added that GMC 2023 coincides with the UAE’s hosting of the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) later this year in Expo City Dubai.
This emphasises the vital role of environmental media in supporting international efforts to promote global climate action, in addition to raising environmental and climate awareness by utilising innovative and more influential tools capable of delivering positive messages to all communities around the world, WAM reported Al Rayssi said.
Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNEC Group, said, “The Global Media Congress plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of the media sector. The Congress provides a platform for showcasing the latest specialised technologies, fostering innovation, and bringing together creative talents from all over the world.
“It also builds bridges of cooperation between the media industry and other industries at the regional and international levels to establish strategic partnerships.”
The Global Media Congress provides an ideal platform for international companies wishing to enter the media industry markets in the GCC and MENA regions.
The inaugural GMC was participated by over 200 CEOs and 1,200 media pioneers, specialists, and global influencers from six continents. – BERNAMA-WAM
