CABSAT, Integrate Middle East, and the inaugural SATExpo wrapped up on 15 May 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). According to the event organisers, these three powerhouse events attracted more than 32,000 attendees and showcased over 820 brands from 120 countries, reaffirming Dubai’s role as a global innovation hub.
CABSAT25 – the 31st edition of the annual show – spotlighted cutting-edge AI-driven broadcast technologies, including automated speech-to-text solutions and next-generation sports media trends, reflecting the booming $6.5 billion MENA sports media market.
DWTC’s Vice President of New Industries, Alex Nicholl, highlighted the events’ impact: “These platforms are more than exhibitions—they are catalysts for innovation and transformative ideas that resonate well beyond Dubai.”
Exhibitors echoed this sentiment, praising the shows as essential venues for launching breakthroughs and engaging with industry leaders. Looking ahead, the 2026 editions promise to continue this momentum, gathering top minds across the media, AV, and satellite sectors to shape the industry’s future.
