In efforts to 'go green' and demonstrate the Forum's staunch commitment to eco-friendly solutions, each participating delegate will receive a complimentary Apple i-pad mini in order for them to use the device throughout all sessions, presentations, workshops and subsequent meetings instead of the traditional usage of papers, pens and other stationary.

To mark the occasion, Saeed Al Shaheen, MEALF's Chairman said, "Since our establishment, sustainability has always been a key component for MEALF as responsible corporate citizens who play an integral role in the international energy industry, and it has continually served as a driver that guides all our activities and endeavors. The exclusive use of i-pads during our upcoming Forum in February is considered an ideal opportunity for us to reaffirm our commitment toward similar initiatives."

We are also proud that our plans of 'going green' this year have been met with extraordinary support and encouragement by all involved partners."
