"Networking is such an important aspect of the creative communications industry; it's a chance to exchange ideas, meet new contacts and interact with colleagues. It's what's great about this business and makes it tick," says Emma Lancaster, Dubai Lynx Festival Director. "Through the various networking opportunities on offer, we look forward to seeing the advertising community reunite."

The Dubai International Advertising Festival takes place from 4-6 March with the Dubai Lynx Awards drawing the Festival to a close on 7 March.
