Why should you be there?
Achieving success in international brand development can mean expensive international flights to build the strong business network needed for success. The Worldwide Magazine Marketplace is an innovative concept which means just one trip to Dubai allows you to meet all your potential worldwide contacts at one time. Both days are divided into 45-minute sessions so that you can organise your own tailor-made schedule before the event. You can see all the profiles of your fellow participants and confirm your meetings in advance with them, using the online diary system.
Specialist Workshops also run concurrently to the meetings for you to hear the world’s experienced publishers talk about the practicalities and pitfalls of international business activities.
Why should publishing companies exhibit?
Whether your magazines are consumer, business-to-business or professional titles there is no better way to showcase your brand and meet key international publishing partners than to exhibit at WMM.
