The Sharjah Book Authority (SBA) announces the registration opening for its upcoming training course specifically designed to empower and advance Arabic publishers. The course is scheduled to take place on November 2, 2024, at the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

 

This intensive training program aims to provide participants with cutting-edge insights and strategies to navigate the evolving publishing landscape in the Arab world.

Leading industry experts and renowned publishers will deliver the sessions, ensuring that attendees gain practical knowledge and actionable skills.

 

The course is an exclusive opportunity, limited to the first 50 applicants. Registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring that only the most motivated and dedicated professionals have access to this valuable training.
