Page 553 - CABSAT ENGLISH PR REPORT - FEBRUARY to MAY 2023

CABSAT 2023, the flagship event for broadcast, satellite, content creation, production,
distribution, and digital media and entertainment industries, is set to attract more than

14,000 visitors, 340 exhibitors, and 120 speakers, and have more than 120 countries
represented when it is held from May 16 to 18, 2023, at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

With the Middle East media and entertainment market expected to grow at a CAGR of

12.79% over the forecast period 2021 – 2026; the region remains one of the most
appealing for the filmed content, broadcast, and satellite industries. At present, the region

is rapidly transitioning from a content consumption market to a content creation hub. More
regional productions are moving into the entertainment and distribution market, which is

expected to be worth nearly $70bn by 2026.

CABSAT is working with the most innovative content creators, producers, broadcast
technology providers, as well as satellite distribution and content delivery companies to

identify common traits of success across all verticals that can serve as the blueprint for
future growth. The previous edition’s highlights included the presence of representatives

from Twitter, Metta, Dubai Media City, Saudi Media Rating Company, and Disney Plus.

CABSAT 2023 will welcome back the Content Congress, which will celebrate and engage
with the creator economy, and the SATEXPO Summit, where leading industry experts can

discuss how sustainable space exploitation can be spearheaded. Similarly, NextUp, which
also returns in 2023, offers a platform for start-up innovators in the media, entertainment,

and satellite industries, while NextGen Content features an exclusive viewing area for the
region’s biggest content buyers to witness the work of the region’s best content creators in
innovative new formats.

Another significant feature of the 2023 event is the co-location with Integrate Middle East,
which is expected to become the major forum and sourcing platform for bringing together

technology leaders and integrated solution buyers in the pro-AV industry.

The response to the new event has been extremely positive, and industry leaders such as
Epson, Provision AVL, Infiled, and Christie have already committed to exhibiting and

demonstrating their innovative solutions, the organisers said.
