DP World has renewed its role as Strategic Partner of the Arab Media Summit, marking the 11th consecutive year of collaboration ahead of the event's largest ever edition in September 2026.
The Dubai Press Club, which organises the Summit, confirmed the partnership will support this year's gathering at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The event takes place under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and the directives of Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Mona Ghanem Al Marri, President of the Dubai Press Club, welcomed the continued backing from DP World, describing it as one of Dubai's foremost economic institutions and a global business representing the region. She said the partnership reflects the synergy between media and economic sectors in driving sustainable development across the Arab world and beyond, adding that DP World's international reach has helped amplify Dubai and the UAE's soft power.
Essa Kazim, Chairman of DP World's Board of Directors, said the renewed collaboration underscores the company's belief in the Summit as the region's leading media gathering. He noted that DP World's operations across six continents allow it to showcase the UAE's innovative strategies globally, reinforcing national values alongside media's role in shaping perception.
Maryam Al Mulla, Director of the Dubai Press Club, said the partnership builds on years of productive collaboration that has driven the Summit's growth and diversification.
The 2026 edition is set to become the largest since the Arab Media Forum launched in 2001. Spanning three days, it will feature 10 forums and gather around 6,000 participants, including political and economic leaders, media executives, editors, content creators and influencers from across the region and internationally, alongside a wider programme of accompanying events.
