Digital Media Asia (DMA) is Asia-Pacific’s largest and foremost regional news media industry event on digital trends, revenue and technology. It will be celebrating its 18th anniversary in 2026.
Mabuhay! DMA 2026 will be held in the culturally vibrant and bustling city of Manila. The capital city of the Philippines is well known for its traditional markets and modern buildings as well as its colonial Spanish architecture and heritage. This is the first time we will be holding Digital Media Asia in the Philippines.
DMA has been at the forefront of transformation in the news media industry since its inception in Singapore in 2009 and attracts hundreds of top-level publishers, editors and digital executives who share best practices, business models, case studies, solutions and their experiences in the news media business.
The conference is organised into two tracks – the Digital Revenue Summit and the Technology Summit.

We invite speakers from publishers and our technology partners to talk about how they are using tech to improve the newsroom, making them more effective and efficient. We will also have presentations from innovators that highlight the latest technology used to optimise digital revenue whether it is from reader revenue or advertising.

All these ensure that journalists continue to produce high value and quality journalism that not only makes a difference in our societies but also enables newsrooms to address the needs of their existing audience and attract new ones.
