Overview

In today's world with information accessible across social and digital media, where researches show that false news is 70% more likely to be retweeted and disinformation reaches people 6 times faster, government and business organisations are becoming clueless when it comes to managing disinformation and its impact. From misleading health advice, organised smear campaigns to reputation damage, false narratives to shaping public opinion on companies and products, the impact of disinformation can be critical and damaging. It is against this backdrop, Ejtemaat Events is offering an interesting summit that aims to create a meaningful dialogue and facilitate active collaboration amongst key actors in the sector so they can come up with innovative ways to overcome the threats posed by disinformation.

The growing sophistication of disinformation, coupled with the evolution of generative AI technology, poses an unprecedented threat to governments and private organizations both regionally and worldwide. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly adept at generating realistic-looking content, the line between fact and fiction becomes blurred, making it easier for malicious actors to spread falsehood and disinformation at scale. For governments, the proliferation of disinformation undermines national security and public trust, while private organizations face reputational damage and financial losses as a result of targeted disinformation campaigns.

The 2nd Global Disinformation Summit, set to take place in Dubai, UAE from 11 - 12 of September 2024, emerges with answers for your many questions related to disinformation, knowledge building and direct access to global experts. By bringing together global and regional experts, thought leaders, and stakeholders from diverse sectors, this summit aims to foster a deeper understanding of the threat posed by disinformation and explore strategies to safeguard the integrity of information ecosystems worldwide. Now is the time to confront disinformation head-on, forging a path towards a more informed, resilient, and trustworthy digital future for the benefit of all.
