Saudi Arabia's Saudi Media Forum will convene in Riyadh from February 1 to 3, 2027, under the reign of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, according to organizers. Mohammed bin Fahad Al-Harthi, president of the forum, disclosed the dates during a reception at MIPCOM, an international television and entertainment industry market in Cannes, France.
The forum aims to attract over 300 speakers, 250 media companies, and 250 organizations to discuss the future of media. Topics include digital transformation, professional development, and cross-border cooperation, with a focus on artificial intelligence and changing audience habits. A parallel exhibition, FOMEX, will showcase broadcasting, production equipment, digital content, and emerging technologies.
Organizers hope overseas participation will encourage international cooperation in content creation, multiplatform distribution, and skills development. Saudi Arabia's Minister of Media welcomed the royal patronage, viewing the forum as a platform for discussing the industry's future and building international partnerships. The forum's website lists February 1-3 as the dates and offers registration and exhibition information.
Further program specifics, including confirmed speakers and participating companies, will be published later.
