A leading regional and international event, IGCF 2023 is poised to build on the success of its previous editions via 14 stages that will host more than 90 specialised and diverse activities including discussions, speeches, workshops and training, as well as pre-forum activities.

Allay asserted the forum’s preparedness to welcome participants and visitors to its packed itinerary of activities across multiple stages and platforms, providing the necessary facilities to ensure the success of the international event according to the highest standards.

The Director General said: “SGMB is committed to making the IGCF interactive and participatory, enabling the audience and guests to engage in lively discussions and workshops throughout the 2-day event. The forum brings a truly unique opportunity to collectively explore future-focused ideas and innovative solutions that will enable governments in the region and worldwide to strengthen the developmental role of their communications machinery and processes, and deepen its positive impact on humanity’s future.”

Allay added: “The upcoming forum is convening experts on sustainability, and resource and wealth management, who will combine their knowledge with the insights of communication leaders, media professionals and decision-makers in the public and private sectors to continue enhancing global best practices in communication and making the knowledge and expertise available to public servants in the field, globally.”

This year, the forum will deliberate on the emerging developments and future opportunities in global resources and wealth, and look deeply into the sustainability challenges we face. A distinguished group of leaders will highlight the fast-changing role of government communication in raising public awareness on pressing issues and ways to develop effective communication mechanisms to deal with them.
