The Arab Media Forum (AMF), the region’s largest media gathering, returns to Dubai this year with a bold focus on the future of media in a rapidly evolving Arab world. Organized by the Dubai Press Club under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the forum brings together over 3,000 journalists, editors, creators, policymakers, and media leaders from across the globe.
Now in its 23rd edition, AMF 2025 kicks off with the Youth Media Forum, spotlighting the voices shaping the next generation of storytelling. The following days feature high-level panels and thematic sessions exploring the intersection of media, technology, politics, and society. Key discussions this year tackle the impact of AI on journalism, regional media ownership, misinformation, and the shifting relationship between media and governance in the Arab world.
The forum also honors excellence through the Arab Media Awards and the Social Media Influencers Summit, recognizing standout contributions to regional dialogue and digital culture.
