"The Joy Forum showcased Saudi Arabia's intent to become a world-class entertainment creative catalyst and investment destination," said GEA's Chairman Senior Advisor Faisal Saed Bafarat. "We are only now just beginning to see the great changes that are ahead for the Kingdom. The sky is truly the limit for the future of Saudi Arabia's entertainment industry under the direction of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) - that is no longer necessary."
