EVENTS

IAB MENA hosts a number of events through the year. These vary in scale, frequency and topic. Some will be webinars, while some will be in-person. For our members, these will be mostly free or low cost and provide an opportunity to engage with peers on a broad range of topics in different formats, such as Measurement roundtables, Channel Development webinars, Networking opportunities and DEI workshops.

Example events include:

Feb – Annual General Assembly (Members Only):  Held in February each year, typically in-person in Dubai. This session is an opportunity to network with other members, find out all that happened in the previous year and contribute to future plans.

April – Growth Summit (Members Only): Focused on topics that drive growth for the region, it’s a unique opportunity for members to hear from experts, discuss taskforce outputs and to network with peers. Unlike other conferences, there is no pay-to-play, ensuring high quality discussion and content.

June – Adspend Survey (Members Only): Our flagship project involves the analysis of the previous year’s digital adspend which is released at an early June Event.

Q4 Event: In Q4 we typically hold an in-person event which has a variable key topic, depending on the main interests of the market at that time.

In Conversation with…: A series of coffee-morning talks where game changers share their personal experiences and knowledge to inspire, stimulate change and ignite personal and professional development. Subscribe to the newsletter mailer and follow our Linkedin Page to keep up to date.

MasterClasses: These monthly sessions provide a unique opportunity to learn from others across a range of different topics. Members are encouraged to share relevant insights (not sales materials) with the wider industry.

Ongoing events/webinars: Our taskforces host numerous events and webinars through the year, depending on their output schedule, these are communicated via Linkedin and Mailers.
