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.

Typically we host at least 4-6 in person events per year including General Assembly in Feb, Adspend release in June and 2 additional events alongside Masterclasses, webinars, small discussions forums and joint events.
