significance of DICM as a key player in the industry.
This year, DICM will introduce ‘Producers Connect,’ a platform dedicated to fostering co-production opportunities between content producers, streaming platforms, investors and financiers. With over 20 companies already registered, participants will explore collaborative opportunities and create content that transcends cultural boundaries.
Another new initiative this year includes ‘DICM Talks,’ which will feature a panel discussion agenda of more than 30 industry leaders and key players sharing their insights on emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in the ever-evolving content landscape. It’s a space where knowledge exchange, innovation, and creativity take center stage.
With less than a month to go, DICM 2023 aims to be a transformative event, offering a glimpse into the future of the global content industry with opportunities to network, explore, learn, and create content that captures the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide.
Past editions of DICM have witnessed an overwhelming response from the industry with over 200 buyers from 25+ countries confirmed to attend, showing a testament to the event’s importance as a marketplace for fresh, innovative, and globally appealing content. The global digital content market was estimated to be worth $162.9bn last year and expected to reach $282.3bn by 2032. Dubai is seen as a powerful connecting factor between regional and international markets, and events such as DICM provide a unified platform for industry players to interact on common ground.
The Dubai International Content Market is organised annually by INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions Organization – a member of INDEX Holding.
