Another good-looking offer from the NYUAD Institute, considering whether the UAE can become the epicentre of Arab pop culture over the next decade or if its influence will remain tied to amplifying trends from elsewhere. The panellists will examine the forces driving the UAE’s creative industries, the role of institutional and private support, and the challenges and opportunities that will determine its long-term cultural influence.

The panel:

Gianluca Chakra CEO, Front Row Entertainment
Rawan Al-Dabbas Regional Director, IFPI MENA

The moderator is Mikey Muhanna, CEO and Founder of afikr.
