Sponsoring the Awards

The 2013 Gulfood Awards provide a unique opportunity for sponsors to secure valuable international exposure across the region’s food and drink industries, not only at Gulfood – the region’s largest and best attended event – but also through a co-ordinated public relations and publicity campaign involving the official Gulfood publications, international magazines, direct mail and online media.

Sponsoring the Gulfood Awards is an effective way to raise the profile of your company brand to a targeted audience and key industry players in the Middle East food and beverage industry.
