CABSAT 2023 is set to kick off this month at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), which
is being organised in strategic partnership with Dubai Studio City, a member of TECOM

Group.
CABSAT will be held from May 16 to 18, 2023, and is set to attract more than 14,000

visitors, more than 340 exhibitors from 400 brands, and 75 regional and global speakers.
The 29 edition of the premier industry B2B event will introduce new features for visitors,
th
including an on-site Virtual Production Studio, CABSAT Podcast, and more.

Developed and driven by PixoJam, the Virtual Production Studio offers filmmakers
guidance, best practices, and other information on how to use virtual sets for films, TV

shows, commercials, and live events, as well as a sustainable solution to reduce
environmental impact in the industry.
Speaking about the event, Azin Samarmand, General Manager at PixoJam Virtual

Production, said: “Through innovative virtual production technology, we are building a
sustainable film industry that significantly minimises waste and helps to reduce

environmental impact. This is an excellent platform for us as we align our goals with the
UAE’s year of sustainability and educate others on the benefits of virtual production. By

leading the way towards an eco-friendly filming solution for the entertainment industry,
we hope to create a better future for our planet.”

The attendees will also have the chance to experience red carpet moments seen at the
Grammys and the Oscars through the GlamBot- a high-speed camera that fixes onto a
robotic arm that captures slow-motion reels, using a high frame rate for its signature

“glam” look. Now a fixture at Hollywood events, the GlamBot’s complex but effective
camera technology is in the region for the first time and will be making its debut at

CABSAT.

Also new for 2023, the CABSAT Podcast will be hosted by Dalma Electronics to inaugurate a
MENA-based podcast studio that is open to all emerging content creators of the region.

New episodes of the podcast will be recorded live at the show with technologists, creative
professionals, and business leaders and be available online.
