               CABSAT 2023, the flagship event for content creation, production, post-production,
               broadcast, satellite, management, distribution, satcom, and space tech industries, is
               set to kick off this month at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). It is being
               organised in strategic partnership with Dubai Studio City, a member of TECOM Group.


               CABSAT 2023 will be held from May 16 to 18, 2023, and is set to attract more than
               14,000 visitors, over 340 exhibitors from 400 brands, and 75 regional and global
               speakers. The 29th edition of the premier industry B2B event will introduce new
               features for visitors, including an on-site Virtual Production Studio, CABSAT Podcast,
               and more.


               Created and driven by PixoJam, the Virtual Production Studio will offer guidance,
               best practices, and other information to filmmakers looking to utilise virtual sets for
               movies, TV shows, commercials, and live events, as well as showcasing a sustainable
               solution for the industry that cuts down on environmental impact.


               "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." Azin Samarmand, General Manager at
               PixoJam Virtual Production, stated.


               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 very 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.
