Later I joined the broadcasting industry as audio post manager for Orbit Satellite TV and later Dubai Media Incorporated.

I am a regular columnist for various specialized technical magazines such as Digital Studio, Sound and Stage, Middle Eastern Broadcasting Journal and I am editor in chief of Connessioni , the leading Italian magazine for domotics and home automation.

I have joined SAE in 2006 as Corporate Training and Marketing manager with the mission of providing Arab corporations with updated training in new media technologies.

In 2010 I Have been selected by Apple Inc. as Apple Mentor the Middle East.

I have organized the first ever TEDx Dubai conference on 10|10|09. TEDx Dubai 2009 made it to the TRENDS chart ( top 10 most tweeted terms on Twitter ). The term “Dubai” made it on the Twitter TRENDS chart only 4 times in 2009, with TEDx Dubai being one of them.

I have produced with SAE the first YouTube Channel for the 6th edition of the Dubai International FIlm Festival. More then 40.000 hits in 5 days.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxWomen, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxWomen event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

About TED

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world's leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily; the new TED Conversations, enabling broad conversations among TED fans; and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide.

TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
