The exhibition, to be held in Halls 5,6, and 7 will be open from 10am Ð 1pm and 5pm - 8:30pm on March 4, 5 and 6.

"Gemex, which is built on the success of the former CABSAT event, will enable visitors to explore the latest trends and technologies fuelling growth of the media industry regionally and globally. Exhibitors come to Dubai to explore the business opportunities the region holds and they expect to secure significant business following the exhibition," said Mr. Mubarak Ahmed bin Fahad, director-general of the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Featured pavilions representing the UK and Bavaria (Germany) underscore Europe's growing interest in the opportunities the Middle East offers to global media players. Companies are keen to take advantage of the many opportunities the region has to offer.
