The two-day event is being held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai from March 27 - 28 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Running under the theme ‘Arab Media: From Now to the Future’, the Forum is set to bring together prominent industry leaders and media professionals from across the region and the world.

This edition seeks to analyse the current state of Arab media and the shifts that are set to shape the industry in the future. The Forum’s discussions will also place a focus on topics that touch the work of media professionals and media institutions in the region.

Salem Belyouha, Acting Director of Dubai Press Club (DPC), called on people interested in attending the 18th edition of the Arab Media Forum to register through the official website of the Forum http://amfregistration.com, noting that pre-registration is compulsory in order to attend the annual event.
