Cannes, 2017 – During the prestigious Dior Charity Gala held in Cannes in 2017, we had the honor to represent BBC Arabia in a high-profile event attended by influential figures, including Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the discreet yet ambitious CEO of Paris Saint-Germain and a key business leader from Qatar.
The gala brought together celebrities, business magnates, and cultural icons in support of charitable causes, set against the glamour of the Cannes Film Festival. Representing BBC Arabia enabled exclusive media access and coverage of this elite gathering, highlighting the intersection of sport, culture, and philanthropy in the MENA region.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s presence underscored the event’s significance, exemplifying how influential Gulf leaders are increasingly shaping global sports and media landscapes.
