Dear reader,
We hope you've had a fantastic January and that you’re well on your way to achieving some of your biggest goals - we know we are!
Our prestigious MENALAC Awards 2022 attracted its highest ever number of submissions; so much so that we’ve had to extend our timeline. Judging is currently underway, so we’ll let you know about the winning results at the awards gala later this month.
We’ve also managed an exclusive deal for MENALAC members for the upcoming IAAPA Middle East Expo, and it’s gone down a treat.
We’re very close to tying up the final loose ends on some of our biggest, signature events including the LEA Conference, MENALAC Safety Conference, and the highly anticipated MENALAC Awards. We’re also proud to be partnering up with TUV SUD to bring the Waterpark Conference to all MENALAC members.
Stay tuned because we’ll be announcing our finalists for the MENALAC Awards very soon!
Without further ado, grab a coffee and dive into our latest newsletter! We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did creating it for you.
