Sustainability Middle East (SME) has announced a change in the date of its upcoming SME Awards to January 11th due to a surge in demand due to an unforeseen number of nominee entries.
SME has also opened up nominations until the end of 2022 in order to facilitate extra demand and to foster opportunities for more future nominations.
SME CEO Sam Khan said: “Ideally I don’t like to change dates when it comes to conferences, however, if I do so it’s because of major changes that serve to enhance the ceremony as is this case with this.
“In essence, we’ve been overwhelmed with the number of nominees coming in, with businesses and individuals all over the region eager to show their achievements.
“Naturally, this means we need to find more time and space to ensure these key figures and organisations are included to make an even better Awards evening.”
