And the winner is .......


Huge congratulations to all our Turret ME colleagues who worked on the World Future Energy Summit 08. As I mentioned in a previous post, this event about 6 weeks ago won Best Congress at the Middle East Events Industry Awards. Well, they've gone and done it again!


On Wednesday the WFES team were all at Earls Court in London for the annual Association of Exhibition Organisers Excellence Awards, and picked up the award for the best launch show, beating competition from 3 other events organised by 2 much larger event organisers. A great achievement, but thoroughly deserved.

It is a hugely successful event on all accounts, sales, delegates, speakers, press exposure etc. which was all recognised by the wider conference, event and exhibition industry.


This is what was said about it: 'The judges chose the winner because of their genuine launch in an emerging market that surpassed its own very ambitious objectives and achieved extraordinary PR coverage on a global scale'

If you are struggling to recognise this event, it was across all the main UK papers and news stations in January, and was the event where Prince Charles gave a 20 minute opening address, and to save 15,000 tonnes of carbon emissions, he didn't come over to Abu Dhabi for it, he appeared on stage in the form of hologram!
