The event will offer attendees exclusive seminars, workshops, and inspirational talks from industry leaders in the creative sector.

“The creative sector is a key pillar in a knowledge-based, diversified economy. Dubai is a rapidly growing global hub for creatives, backed by the Dubai Creative Economy Strategy, an attractive business environment and a multicultural melting pot,” said Majed Al Suwaidi, senior vice president at Dubai Media City.

This year’s event features the Young Lynx Competition. The competition, taking place at Tecom Group’s in5 and powered by TikTok, offers young creatives the opportunity to solve a real challenge within 24 hours.
