Inspiring Creative Minds
The
Dubai International Advertising Festival is a meeting place for the Middle East
and North Africa region (MENA) advertising and communications industry, where
they can learn, be inspired, network and celebrate.
The Festival, now in its fifth year, will take place from 4 to 6 March 2012. The Dubai Lynx Awards, to honour
the region’s best work in advertising, will be held on 7 March 2012.
The
Festival and Awards are part of the Cannes Lions International Advertising
Festival stable. The Festival and Awards are produced in partnership with
Motivate Publishing with the support of Dubai Media City (DMC) and in
association with the UAE Chapter of the International Advertising Association
(IAA).
The two-and-a-half day programme of seminars and
workshops, presented by a high calibre of speakers, tackles the issues and
challenges facing the industry, from both a regional and global perspective. In
2011, the esteemed line-up of speakers included Mark Tutssel, Chief Creative
Officer, Leo Burnett Worldwide, Professor Rodney Fitch CBE, Founder of Fitch
and Roy Haddad, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, JWT.
An exhibition and screenings of the shortlisted Dubai
Lynx entries provide creative inspiration and a snapshot of the best
advertising in the region. Select exhibitors provide a gateway to the latest
technologies and services.
