On 2 May 2024, the biggest night on the Middle East live events industry calendar
returns for its sixth year to recognise the incredible achievements in the sector
over the past 12 months.

After our record-breaking 2023 event, which saw 591 of the industry descend on
Hard Rock Café Dubai, the 2024 event is set to bigger and better than ever.

With this year being the first awards under our new TPiMEA moniker, we’ve made
some significant changes behind the scenes to bring the awards closer to its
international forbearer, the hugely successful and long-running TPi Awards,
which has been taking place in the UK for 23 years.

The most notable change is to the voting process, which has been tweaked
to ensure fairer representation throughout the industry, with the introduction of the
TPiMEA Academy. Comprised of last year’s winners alongside other prominent
industry figures, the TPiMEA Academy will be responsible for curating the shortlist
for each category. This shortlist will then be put out to a public vote, with our
judging panel also casting their votes.

There have also been some changes to this year’s categories with the likes of
Sound System Designer of the Year, Health & Safety Officer of the Year,
Showcaller of the Year, and Comms and Network Engineer of the Year added
and some other categories altered to better represent the different disciplines
that go into creating the region’s biggest and  best live events. The Green Award
– which requires companies to submit an entry  demonstrating their achievements
in the field over the past 12 months – also returns for a second year after making
its debut in 2023.

We can’t wait to see you there.
