Benador Public Relations Announces The Arab Broadcast Forum in Abu Dhabi, 4th and 5th of May, 2008

NEW YORK and ZURICH, Switzerland, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The media and communications department of the Swiss-American firm Benador Public Relations is pleased to announce the Arab Broadcast Forum to be held in Abu Dhabi, 4th and 5th of May, 2008.

For the third consecutive year, broadcast news professionals and executives from the Arab world and around the world will gather in Abu Dhabi for the Arab Broadcast Forum 2008.

The Arab Broadcast Forum has quickly become the Arab world's premier summit in the broadcast industry with emphasis on news. It now attracts more than 300 delegates to discuss the key challenges and issues facing the media and broadcasting sector and provides an outstanding networking opportunity.

In October 2007, leading executives from some of the top Arab and global broadcasters met at the Arab Broadcast Forum Editorial Board meeting in Berlin and set up an exciting draft agenda, relevant to the region and beyond.

Among the topics that will be addressed during the summit are: reporting on oil, the power of TV drama, reliable media resource, report on refugees in the Arab world, safety of journalists in the media war in Palestine, the Arab League media charter, the art of elections which will particularly analyze the situation of American elections, and so on.

This unprecedented event in the Middle East is a professionally produced live television programme with wide and spirited audience participation rather than a simple conference.

Last year, the entire event was aired live on Abu Dhabi TV and Al Jazeera Mubashar in addition to several sessions which aired on Al Arabiya, LBC Sat, Al Jazeera and BBC Arabic-language radio.

This year the event will take place once again in Abu Dhabi where it returns to the spectacular seven-star Emirates Palace, the venue for our inaugural event in 2006.

The Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi is granting Arab Broadcast Forum delegates special rates in one of the region's busiest capitals.

Once again, Abu Dhabi TV will serve as host broadcaster and will provide the Arab Broadcast Forum with world-class facilities.

Additionally, the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority will host a very special gala event during the summit. More details will be provided shortly.

"We are offering a stimulating programme and we are looking forward to continue to be the facilitators of these exciting series of meetings of the minds as we have been, ever since the creation of the Arab Broadcast Forum in Abu Dhabi in 2006," said Jim Gold, the experienced Managing Director of the Arab Broadcast Forum (www.abfonline.net).

"The world of broadcast is a vast and complex one, and it is critical that the Arab world count with a class-A regional summit like this one. Expertly organized, the Arab Broadcast Forum features a series of poignant and stimulating discussions, as well as self-analysis and constructive criticism, that help place Arab broadcasting at a world level," said Eliana Benador, whose firm, Benador Public Relations, from New York and Zurich, is assuring the general public relations for the event.
