Salon

24/04/2024

Dubai, UAE, April 24, 2024,

CABSAT, the flagship event for broadcast, media, satellite, and entertainment industries in the

Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, celebrates its 30th anniversary by continuing its

partnership with HConsult, a leading content market specialist in the Arabic-speaking MENA

region, to host MENA Co-Production Salon. The exclusive gathering, scheduled from May 21
to 23 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, is poised to elevate the collaborative spirit that

has long been a hallmark of the annual event.

The Co-Production Salon, which is located within a specially designed VIP lounge near the

Content Congress area, is an exclusive, invitation-only lounge that assembles the region's
most prestigious production houses, OTT platforms, TV networks, content investors, and

brand representatives. It serves as a vital platform for exploring co-production and investment

opportunities, aimed at creating internationally viable TV and film content.

2023: A Retrospective Look

Last year's Co-Production Salon was highly sought-after edition, with more than 250

companies applying for entry. However, due to stringent participation criteria and the intimate
nature of the event, only about a quarter of applicants were admitted. The attendees had the

opportunity to participate in an average of 15 high quality meetings each, resulting in

numerous collaborative investment deals in content production both within and outside the

MENA region.
