The MENA region's vibrant media sector, coupled with its reputation as the fastest emergent area in the world for mobile growth and penetration is the reason IBC Content Everywhere MENA is bringing the debate to the heart of the region, enabling all those concerned with the creation and development of business opportunities to debate and understand the issues and impacts on an international scale.
Structured to inform and challenge, each day of the three-day conference addresses a pertinent issue - The Changing Digital Landscape; Experiences, Opportunities and Challenges; Driving Innovation and Creativity in a Connected World - providing an intriguing mix of keynotes, panel discussions, case studies and debates, coupled with unparalleled networking opportunities.
The primary purpose of IBC Content Everywhere MENA is to develop meaningful dialogue on convergence: posing and answering the questions and challenges that face both the regional and the wider global marketplace. It aims to empower those attending to understand the differing approach of telcos; the impact on traditional operators and how telcos are meeting the challenge of high-profile OTT video providers by investing in their own content divisions. It will discover whether the Future of Broadcast TV standards activities are getting close to defining a single global broadcast standard; the expectations and implications of 5G initiatives. These issues will sit alongside the opportunity to learn about innovation and opportunities presented by new technology on news and the news business.
Registration for the three-day access to the conference and the exhibition is FREE and attendees will experience a range of added benefits, including access to the Future Zone and networking events, as well as exclusive access to all electric networking contacts and content collected during the event. For a completely immersive and superior experience, attendees can upgrade to a Gold Pass. As well as the free visitor benefits, exclusive benefits of the Gold Pass include Executive Lounge with complimentary beverages and buffet lunch, private meeting rooms and use of the business centre as well as reserved seating in the conference sessions at the Content Theatre.
