DUBAI, 24th April, 2024 (WAM) -- 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 21st to 23rd May 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.

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.

Heba Korayem, Content Market and Partnerships Specialist at Hconsult and MENA Co-Production Salon's host, said, "There are
huge things happening in this seemingly compact space. We have tracked US$ 8 million in content investment through partnership
