The TPMEA Awards is a chance to catch up with your industry colleagues as the Middle East events season draws to a close, while also taking the time to acknowledge some of the year’s outstanding individuals. As well as the awards presentation, the evening will include free food and drink, as well as plenty of time to network until your heart’s content or simply celebrate another successful year.

The event took place on 24 April 2019 at Hard Rock Cafe, Festival City Mall, Dubai.

Ticket included entry to the event along with access to the free bar with house beers, wine, spirits and soft drinks on offer, courtesy of Protec. Food served throughout the evening.

The event took place from 19.30 to 22.30 and was once again hosted by Stuee Kennedy with entertainment by the Hard Rock Cafe in-house band.
