Dubai (I-Newswire) March 17, 2013 - Presented by ESP International in conjunction with ESP Recruitment and Informa Exhibitions, this Entrepreneur-style competition is designed to bring the next generation of talent into the event industry.

The Eventice Middle East 2013 finals will take place at the Middle East EVENT Show from 21 – 22 May 2013, with the winners being announced during the annual Middle East EVENT Awards gala dinner on 22 May 2013.

“Informa is thrilled to be involved with The Eventice Middle East”, states Informa Exhibitions’ Marketing Director, Richard Brook, “the competition is about providing opportunities for GCC nationals and residents at the start of their careers. Eventice Middle East is a fun yet challenging competition designed to reward those that show real drive, ambition and commitment to the region’s thriving event industry.”

Rebecca Wilson, Director of ESP International goes on to add “This is a hugely exciting and uplifting competition that we are delighted to be bringing to the UAE after 3 successful years in the United Kingdom; it spotlights amazing local talent that might otherwise go un-noticed and can change someone’s life overnight!”

Last year's Eventice UK winners, Peter Hunt and Abi Cozens, won jobs at George P Johnson and Tarsus respectively after impressing a panel of judges over a period of three days.
