The 2012 Abu Dhabi Media Summit will open with a keynote address by Bill Gates on October 9.
The three-day, invitation-only event will be held at the Yas Viceroy Hotel and the theme is “Redefining the Digital Frontier”. The focus will be on digital media in emerging markets and on the technology disruption that is creating new distribution channels, marketing opportunities and audiences.

“The continued evolution and strengthening of the summit mirrors the continued development of Abu Dhabi and the UAE as an important hub for the media industry,” said Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of the Abu Dhabi Media Summit.

“As in previous years, the 2012 summit will create unique opportunities for insights for all who attend. The 2012 event will also see an even greater emphasis on home-grown talent through a series of master classes and workshops.”

Previous keynote speakers have included industry leaders Rupert Murdoch, Eric Schmidt, James Cameron, James Murdoch, Yuri Milner and Hans Vestberg.

This year the summit will also feature new sessions that give local and regional media entrepreneurs access to global entrepreneurs and venture-capital investors in a series of showcases, workshops, master-classes and inspirational talks.
