About ABU Digital Broadcasting Symposium 2026
DBS 2026 will explore how the “synthetic rise” — from AI-generated visuals and hyperreal soundscapes to virtual presenters and automated storytelling — is redefining the way we create, deliver, and experience content, transforming every aspect of broadcasting.

Held annually in Kuala Lumpur, the symposium features a conference, exhibition, masterclasses, and workshops, attracting around 1,500 participants from more than 350 organisations across the region and beyond.

DBS 2026, through its conference sessions, panel discussions, focused workshops, and masterclasses led by renowned global experts, will explore the challenges and solutions surrounding digital transformation, technology implementation, creative content development, and enhanced audience experiences.

With an ever-expanding range of technologies entering the market, broadcasters are presented with exciting new opportunities. DBS serves as a platform to showcase these innovations and support broadcasters in making informed decisions.
