In response to growing interest in its forthcoming ED&I Summit and Awards event, the Middle East Consultant (MEC) editorial team has made the decision to split the event, and attach the awards component to its annual Middle East Consultant Awards gala dinner. The move will expose ED&I winners to the broader Middle East Consultant audience, the MEC team confirmed.
The ED&I Awards will now take place on 14 November, with excellence in the 10 dedicated ED&I categories being recognised ahead of the Middle East Consultant Award categories. Paul Godfrey, Head of Content at MEC also confirmed that the deadline for nominations for the ED&I Awards has been extended to 25 October.
“We have experienced a remarkable level of interest in the forthcoming ED&I Awards, which have attracted a number of very strong entries. Given the calibre of the companies now involved, we’ve taken the decision to move the awards from the evening of 9 October, and instead make them an integral part of the Middle East Consultant Awards on 14 November. This ensures nominees will have the best possible showcase for demonstrating leadership in the ED&I agenda, and they will now be able to highlight their achievements to a larger audience,” said Godfrey.

The ED&I Summit will continue as planned on 9 October at the Habtoor Grand Resort, JBR, Dubai, the MEC team emphasised. Click here to register.
