Held at the Meydan Gallery in Dubai on 3 June, the Global RLI Awards 2015, in association with Marina Home, took

the highly regarded event to a whole new level of glamour and excitement. What better venue for the world’s most sought-after awards than Dubai, one of the most dynamic, energetic and exciting locations in the world?

The night was a fitting tribute to the very best of the best, the innovators and those that dare to push the boundaries; it rewards those dynamic projects and concepts that excite the senses with stunning architecture, exemplary customer service, products that ‘wow’ and that aren’t afraid to take risks, refusing to settle for anything but the very best.

in meeting such challenges head on with innovative thinking and a positive, world-beating attitude. One thing that has stood out during my extensive travels over the past year is that, for a company with the right attitude, the world is full of opportunities for continued growth and success.”

The event was held in conjunction with RLI the Connect Deal-Making Forum, held at the Meydan Racecourse on 1-2 June, the thinking behind which is simple… face-time with key global retail and leisure decision makers and getting those deals done!

Photo opportunities are always a key theme at the Global RLI Awards Gala Evening and once again category sponsor MK Illumination wowed all with a fabulously decorated chair, a true piece of art, and guests were photographed sitting in a variety of poses! MK also supplied a number of other select artistic installations, wonderfully lit to spectacular effect.

Supporting partner CELS added the finishing touches to our fashion gallery with an incredible display of bespoke shoes, shipped specially to the event from a museum in Italy.

During the dinner itself, guests were treated to entertainment in the form of a compilation of musicals from previous RLI Awards shows, an exquisite four-course meal and, of course, the awards ceremony itself!

As has been the case in recent years, the

independent Judging Panel, comprising of highly respected leaders from a broad spectrum of profession and all corners of the world, faced the incredibly daunting task of whittling a record number of entries down to a shortlist for each category. RLI would like to once again thank all of our judges for their diligence and hard work.

Of course, we must also thank our wonderful sponsors for their support, including Headline Sponsor Marina Home and Entertainment Sponsor Mall of Qatar, as well as category sponsors Arabian Oud, Balmic Contracting Services, Benoy, Colliers, Coverpoint Consultancy, Dana Holdings, Design International, Grottini Retail Environments, Landmark International, McArthur + Company, MH Alshaya Co, MK Illumination, POP Retail, Schwitzke, SFD, TGM Consultants and The Toy Store.

Taking its inspiration from the city planning of Minsk, Minsk World takes the key elements of water and green space and the form of the tree, to root the project in the city, to create the structure and platform for economic growth and to provide an environment that allows the new international district to live and breathe.

Minsk World is envisaged as an urban catalyst that will not only create a new destination in the city and a place where people will aspire to live and work, but also become a venue for Minsk’s civic, cultural and social life.

“We have only scratched the surface of human potential, therefore what dreams can conceive, we can achieve.”
