Last month’s inaugural IPTV World Forum Middle East and Africa 2007, was an unprecedented success with the show attracting over 700 attendees, who were able to see over 20 exhibiting companies from across the region (www.iptv-mea.com).

“This has been one of our most successful debuts in a new region” said Ian Johnson, Managing Director of Junction “The growing IPTV market in the Middle East and Africa helped to increase interest in this year’s event and with nearly all exhibitors already signed up for next years show, we are confident it will be bigger and better than 2007”.

Next year’s event will be held at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Dubai from the 3rd to the 4th of November 2008, and will incorporate new streams on top of IPTV and Mobile TV.
