The Middle East Consultant (MEC) team has unveiled the shortlist for the 2024 edition of the annual Middle East Consultant Awards (MEC Awards). The gala event willis scheduled to take place on 14 November at the Ritz Carlton JBR, Dubai.
As before, the awards categories have been segmented into three main categories: Company; Project and People. Over 140 nominations were submitted across the Awards’ various categories and 23 winners will be recognised on the night of the awards.
The MEC team also confirmed that the gala night will be split into two distinct segments; the ED&I Awards shortlist and winners will be revealed only on the night of the awards, ahead of the MEC Award winners. A short networking break will separate the two Award programmes on the day.
