Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q) is hosting its biannual Qatar Media Industries Forum (QMIF), which brings together top representatives in publishing, electronic media, digital media, public relations, and advertising in a discussion to assess the present and future of Qatar's media landscape.
The forum, “Going Regional: Taking a Media Company Beyond Borders,” will be held on November 8 in Doha.
NU-Q Dean and CEO Everette E Dennis will host the event and NU-Q Associate Professor Ilhem Allagui will moderate. Participating in the panel discussion will be Fares Akkad, head of distribution and digital business development at MBC Group; Redha Al Haidar, board member at Tihama Holdings; and Raza Rizvi, head of TMT at Simmons and Simmons, Middle East LLP. “QMIF is the first ever effort in Qatar to bring together leaders from different media industries and platforms — in the same room at the same time – to consider and solve common challenges,” said Dennis.
The session on November 8 will address challenges media companies face when expanding beyond national borders.
