The inaugural Gulf & MENA Decision-Makers Forum will take place on October 5, 2026, in Dubai, bringing together senior industry executives and technical leaders to discuss the future of sports broadcasting, large-scale event production, and broadcast infrastructure.
The invitation-only forum, dedicated to Sport & Broadcast Innovation, will be held at the NEP/CT Warehouse in Dubai Investment Park 2. The doors will open at 15:30 UAE time, with discussions continuing until 20:30.
The program will feature three focused roundtable sessions:
AI and Smart Solutions in Sports Broadcasting
Large-Scale Event Production, Distribution, Contribution and Technologies
TV Stations, Remote Hubs and Future Industry Concepts
The closed-door format is designed to encourage practical and open discussion among senior professionals with extensive regional experience. Breaks will be held between the sessions to provide participants with additional opportunities for direct professional networking.
The forum’s organizers aim to establish a recurring regional platform and build a professional community that connects industry leaders and decision-makers across the Gulf and the wider MENA region.
While participation in the discussions will be limited to invited guests, the key findings and conclusions from the sessions will be shared publicly to provide value to the wider broadcast, sports and media technology industries.
Invitations are being extended to professionals who have made significant contributions to the sector’s development and possess a deep understanding of the regional market.
Confirmed participants will be asked to provide their full name, current position, a short professional profile, and a high-resolution photograph for the official announcements prepared by TFT1957.com.
