Event Wrap-up: Telum Talks To AGBI

On Wednesday, 1st October 2025, Telum Media hosted its first Telum Talks event in Dubai, a discussion with James Drummond, Frank Kane and Megha Merani from Arabian Gulf Business Insight (AGBI). Held at Dubai Knowledge Park, the session was moderated by Telum’s Regional Media Manager for the Middle East, Joanna Ezzat

A full house of communications and corporate affairs professionals heard directly from the three newsroom leaders on how Arabian Gulf Business Insight approaches its editorial strategy, the stories that resonate with its readers, and the evolving business and finance landscape across the Gulf.

The moderated discussion covered editorial priorities, with the panellists speaking candidly about what makes a pitch stand out, the themes shaping markets across the region, and why credibility still wins in one of the world’s most competitive markets.

Attendees also had the opportunity to network and connect with peers across the industry, and the chance to interact directly with the panellists to ask practical questions about working with AGBI’s newsroom.
