Arab Media Summit 2026 in Dubai

Overview

The Arab Media Summit 2026, scheduled for September 15–17 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, has begun announcing its high-profile participants and specialized forums. Initial announcements confirmed that Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and Pedro David, chairman of Euronews, would participate to provide geopolitical and European perspectives on the evolving media landscape.

Subsequent updates highlighted that the Euronews Forum will debut at the summit, marking the first time the forum is hosted outside of Europe. Organizers stated that the partnership with Euronews is intended to bridge markets and cultures while facilitating global dialogue on the future of the media industry.

The Dubai Press Club has since released the agenda for the Arab Media Forum, a core component of the summit. Discussions are expected to cover geopolitical shifts, the future of news, and the impact of artificial intelligence on content creation.

Additionally, the Dubai Media Council will feature dedicated forums organized by the Dubai Films and Games Commission. These sessions aim to transform media creativity into a robust economy by connecting creators, funders, and publishers. Officials noted that Dubai intends to leverage its infrastructure to position itself as a central hub for global studios and intellectual property development.
