Dubai Press Club, the organizing body for the Arab Media Summit, whose activities are held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, may God protect him, announced the opening of registration to attend the summit activities in its next edition, scheduled to be held during the period from March 31 to April 2, 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Center.

The summit is the largest media gathering of its kind in the Arab world and continues to play its leading role as a comprehensive intellectual and professional platform that anticipates the future of Arab media, discusses the major transformations taking place in the sector, and seeks to formulate practical visions that contribute to its development and upgrading its content in keeping with the aspirations of the Arab public and the changes in the global media landscape.

In this context, Director of the Dubai Press Club, Maryam Al Mulla, confirmed that pre-registration is a basic condition for attending the summit, given the wide turnout it witnesses annually from media professionals, content makers and media leaders from within the UAE and various parts of the region and the world.

Al-Mulla said that the Arab Media Summit has become an indispensable annual stop for everyone who seeks to understand the transformations of the media landscape and participate in shaping its future, and hence the importance of pre-registration as the only guarantee for attending this qualitative event that attracts thousands of participants annually.

She added that registration will be available from today until March 30, 2026, stressing that there will be no opportunity to register after the start of the summit and called on those wishing to attend to take the initiative to register through the official website of the Dubai Press Club:

Al Mulla explained that preparations for the next session have entered their final stages, in light of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Media Council, to provide all the elements that guarantee the outcome of the summit in a manner befitting its international standing, and to establish Dubai’s position as a global center for the media industry and the formulation of its future ideas.

She stressed that the organizing committee is working to present a rich program of qualitative sessions and in-depth dialogues that respond to the challenges of this stage and keep pace with the rapid developments in the media industry.

For his part, member of the Arab Media Summit Organizing Committee, Jassem Salti, stressed that pre-registration is no longer just a regulatory procedure, but rather has become an essential element to ensure the quality of the experience provided to participants.

Al-Salti said that the summit annually witnesses an unprecedented turnout from media leaders, decision-makers, experts and specialists, and therefore pre-registration enables the organizing committee to manage this large attendance with high efficiency, and ensures the provision of an ideal environment for dialogue and fruitful professional interaction.

He added that the summit represents a real opportunity for media professionals to participate in in-depth discussions about the future of the profession, digital transformations, media ethics, and the role of media in development and creating awareness, stressing that the initiative to register early reflects professionals’ awareness of the importance of this platform and its impact.

Al-Salti called on all those wishing to attend not to postpone registration, which will contribute to enabling the organizing committee to present an exceptional edition befitting the status of the summit as the largest media event in the Arab world.

Over the years of its holding, the Arab Media Summit has attracted under its umbrella an elite of senior political figures, decision-makers, and leaders of Arab and international media institutions, in addition to the most prominent media figures, experts, academics, and influencers in various fields of traditional and digital media.

The summit contributed to establishing a high-level professional dialogue on the most prominent challenges facing Arab media, ways to develop it, enhance its positive role in society, and invest in the opportunities offered by modern technology to improve Arab media content in terms of quality, credibility and influence.
