The Shusha Global Media Forum has established itself as an influential international platform for discussing the global media agenda, with previous sessions covering digital transformation, the AI impact on media and news production, and international cooperation in innovation. The relevance of these topics has grown significantly due to the rapid transformation of the global information environment in recent years.
