A formal black-tie evening in Dubai, April 2027, where Best of Best Awards winners are presented on stage, followed by a gala dinner with nominees, guests and business leaders from the regional programmes.
The Best of Best Awards gala ceremony is the evening where the year’s results become public. Winners from the Asia, Europe, UK and Arabian programmes are called to the stage, receive their trophy and certificate, and are photographed for their own announcements. The awards dinner that follows gives winners, nominees and their guests time to meet business leaders from other industries and countries.
