Sharjah Media City launched the panel discussion series Shams Talks as an interactive initiative that aims to tackle various relevant issues and topics, in an effort to advance the media sector, educate entrepreneurs and professionals in the industry, and allow them to benefit from international best practices and success stories to grow their ventures.

The initiative allows young talents to bring their ideas to the table and debate media-related topics, among other sectors. It aims to create a constructive and engaging media environment, which, in turn, resonates with Shams’ mission to empower entrepreneurs and strengthen media’s role as part of the economic system in the Emirate of Sharjah and the UAE. The first session of the series discussed ‘User-Generated Content and its Effect on Brands’.
