DISCOP Dubai wrapped its second edition with 687 delegates in attendance and plans to move the Middle East-focused market to Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in 2019.

During a panel at DISCOP Dubai entitled Spotlight on the Middle East: The Staying Power of Linear Television in a Fast-Evolving Digital World, panelists focused on major issues affecting the television industry: changing viewing habits and business models, and the need for cooperation and regulation in the region.

The second edition of DISCOP Dubai—which caters to content markets in the Middle East, Northern Africa and the Indian subcontinent—began Sunday morning, with around 275 registered buyers expected at the three-day event.
