The event is being held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum, President, Department of Civil Aviation, Government of Dubai and Chairman of Emirates.
"By coming on board with the ball, Lufthansa has acknowledged the value of putting its brand in front of an influential audience of over 1,000 senior decision makers within the Middle East's energy industry," explained Eileen Michael, Publisher, Reflex Publish M.E. FZ LLC, which organises the Oil Barons' Ball. Reflex also publishes Pipeline magazine, the leading monthly publication for the region's oil and gas industry.
