Festivale 2006 Conference opens to a packed audience of event industry professionals

The conference, which runs through until the 26th April 2006 at the Al Murooj Rotana Hotel in Dubai features a programme of presentations by regionally and internationally experienced event experts that will help regional professionals introduce the latest global best practices into the regional market, and at the same time expose them to innovative and inspirational event ideas plus new ways to enhance and refresh their existing events.

'Festivale represents an unique opportunity for the region's event industry to learn the latest techniques and mechanics to differentiate their events from global experts who have a diverse range of expertise.'

said Jackie Wilks, Director, Festivale 2006. 'This conference is designed to give attendees insights that will help them to develop the essential skills and expertise to effectively develop, promote and ensure the success of their events - the panel of international and regional experts is exceptional and the speakers outstanding - their combined experience and expertise is highly impressive and is without doubt the best ever to be gathered together in the Middle East.'

Festivale, working in partnership with Event 360 (part of PALME, the Middle East's premier professional sound, light, music, audio visual and systems integration exhibition), is the industry's opportunity to meet and network with over 400 regional and international production companies, equipment manufacturers and distributors, all of whom could have a huge impact on the success of events of all types and sizes. Event 360 takes place at Dubai International Exhibition Centre from April 23-25, 2006, and transport is being provided to the exhibition every day after the conference has closed.
