AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS / ACCESSWIRE / September 15, 2024 / United Media Services (UMS) participated in the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC), held in the Dutch capital of Amsterdam, with a panel discussion highlighting its role in advancing and supporting Egyptian and Arab media as one of the largest media conglomerates in the Middle East and North Africa.
This year's IBC edition hosted a panel titled "Reconfiguring an Established Media Ecosystem by Embracing Disruptive Technological Innovations", featuring Amr El Feki, CEO and Managing Director of United Media Services, and Nashwa Gad E Haq, Chairwoman and Managing Director of WATCH IT. The panel was moderated by Allan Mclennan, the experienced IBC moderator.
El Feki noted that since its founding eight years ago, United Media Services has adopted a sustainable economic model that provides the media sector with the necessary technological capabilities and creates an ideal working environment for thousands of media professionals, technicians, and specialists.
He added that UMS, as a media conglomerate, owns 46 companies, employs 9,000 people, and operates 17 television channels, including 3 news channels, 12 newspapers and news websites, and 6 radio stations, in addition to several companies specializing in marketing, drama and film production, as well as IT companies dedicated to the media industry.
