The first Dtec Forum for this year will be kicked off with the theme "From Startups To Business Giants: Driving Your Business Strategy With Comms And PR," with the BIZ Experiences Middle East team aiming to guide founders of startups and SMEs on strategies they need to have in place for generating PR for their business, as well as to build good relationships with relevant media.

The program will kick off at 10.00am with an opening address by Hans Henrik Christensen, Vice President, Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority.

In the ensuing presentation, Sunil John, President – Middle East & Founder of ASDA'A BCW, will provide an overview of the current state of the public relations market in the MENA region. John has been at the heart of the public relations business in the Middle East for more than two decades, advising regional governments, international brands and global and local companies.

John's talk, titled "PR Expertise: Crafting A Master Narrative For Your Business," will also tackle the questions of how MENA-based BIZ Experiencess should use PR to convey the key messages of their businesses to the public.

As the founder of Nudge, a communications advisory specializing in public speaking and media training, Roberts advises BIZ Experiencess on how to give their ideas a voice, regardless of whether they are pitching for investment, or delivering keynote presentations.

In her presentation, "Communication Essentials For Startups," Roberts will cover the topics of how to generate good press for your startup without having to spend a lot of money, and how investing in media and public speaking trainings might prove crucial for an enterprise's survival.
