Over 50 companies from 48 countries engaged in more than 100 meetings during the two days of E-Ramadan Content Market (E-RCM). Additionally, 20 of the latest international titles were available for screening one month before the event on the event’s Content Business Hub.

Among producers and distributors, there were returning companies such as Muslim Content from Turkey, but also new ones like: ZDF Enterprises from Germany, Qeesh Productions, Kaband Media and Rabee Alhaj Abed Productions from UAE, Image Factory from Morocco, and TV3 from Malaysia.

“As Muslim Content Distribution, E-RCM event helped us to keep our relations with our partners & clients alive. And also, it was a great opportunity to do new collaborations.” Murat Yavan General Manager, Muslim Content Distribution, Turkey.

“Great opportunity to meet clients and industry peers. I believe that having a content market in Jan is very helpful as it is the beginning of the year where networks and platforms are working on their yearly plans. I also liked the idea of having a content market specifically for Ramadan since it’s the hottest season throughout the year. The participating fees for sellers was reasonable and made it possible for smaller companies and startups to be part of the event and get noticed. I would also like to mention how thankful I am to the organizers of the event for being heavily involved and supportive, as they made a lot of effort trying match the participants with similar interests.” Nahla Elmallawany CEO, Qeesh Productions, UAE.

“I am very happy to have attended the E-RCM in 2022. Everyone was incredibly helpful and supported me during the two-day event. I had a great experience being part of it and hope to be back next year.” Yuliya Fischer, Director, ZDF Enterprises GmbH, Germany.

On a buyer’s perspective, E-RCM is attracting more participants regionally and from around the world, like Sharjah broadcasting Authority, Vuclip, Zee Alwan from UAE, Al Majd TV from Saudi Arabia, Indosiar, MNC Sky Vision, and Mediastar from Indonesia, Mi Media from Malaysia, Dori Media from Israel, Kedoo Entertainment from UK, and many others have also shown interest in returning in 2023 to fulfil the content requirement for the period of Ramadan.

“We are impressed the way E-RCM was organized virtually. Seamless online meetings. Great Platform to meet content fraternity from different countries. Looking forward to attend DICM next year.” Agha Faisal Ahmed, Senior Vice President, Ary Digital Network, Pakistan

“E-RCM was a great opportunity to discover new content and catch up with industry colleagues right before the Ramadan season. The connection with new and existing producers and content developers always enhances knowledge and creates opportunity. Their platform is very user-friendly and the organizer’s attention to detail and follow-up is exemplary.” Tareq Abu-Lughod, Co-Founder & CEO, Arab Media Network, Jordan

E-RCM is powered by Dubai International Content Market (DICM). Following the successful virtual event, DICM’s agenda will continue with a series of webinars and the event will take place November 23-24, 2022 at Jumeirah Beach Hotel Conference Centre.

The event is organized by INDEX Conferences & Exhibitions, a member of INDEX Holding, which is one of the most prominent companies specialized in organizing top-notch conferences, exhibitions, virtual and hybrid events regionally and internationally.
