CABSAT 2025: Observations and Key Takeaways

The event took place at the Dubai World Trade Centre on 13-15 May. Here are my observations from the show.

This year’s edition of CABSAT was combined with Integrate Middle East as well as the debut of SATExpo Middle East. A very well organised show, that brought together a diverse selection of companies to highlight the opportunity for content creation through to distribution in MEASA. This helped to attract more than 32,000 attendees, over eighty-two exhibitors from more than 120 countries.

Next year’s event is currently scheduled to take place for slightly later, between 20-22 May 2026.

Companies/organisations mentioned include: BOYA, Dubai Studio City, e&, Eutelsat, ICC, Netflix, OSN+, Risingjoy, Ross Video, Shahid, SI Media, StarzPlay, and TECOM Group.
