With the increase in the number and size of world-class events organised in the region, more and more event professionals are seeking new and inspiring event ideas and ways to keep their existing events fresh and growing annually.

Festívale 2005, the International Convention for Major Event Organisers And Destination Management Professionals, is designed to surprise, excite and engage everyone who plans, organises and promotes major events.
To take place from 24 to 26 April 2005 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, it will examine how major entertainment, commercial and sporting events are staged, by bringing leading international event planners, destination managers and organisers to the region. More than 30 speakers from across the globe will address the three-day event.
Whether they are involved in organising festivals, conferences, exhibitions, product launches, corporate events or any other type of special event, Festívale will provide delegates with the tools they need to stage world-class events and give them an opportunity to learn from true experts and to gain cutting-edge insights how to turn every event into a memorable one.
“Our aim is to create a unique networking platform for everyone involved in this important, exciting sector,” says Jessica Sutherland, general manager, IIR Middle East.
