MAGAZINE WORLD SET TO MEET IN DUBAI

World Magazine Marketplace is the annual gathering of magazine publishers involved in the business of global licensing and content syndication. This year's event takes place next month in Dubai. Previously Moscow, Singapore and London have been home to this important industry event.
Just one Thailand-based company has so far registered to attend (disclosure: my company). There's an awful lot of interest from global publishers in this country and, as such, I am being swamped with proposals and requests for meetings. Not that I'm complaining.
I attended the events in Singapore and London and made some excellent contacts that resulted in business for my company. In the past there have been no more than half a dozen representatives from Thailand at these global industry events. The big players such as Inspire, Post Publishing, Media Expertise and Amarin, are usually represented.
With less than a month to this year's event I'm surprised no one else from Thailand has registered. It means, at the moment, I am getting all the potential business enquiries from publishers looking at Thailand.
