  • The 6th edition of TOP CEO Conference and Awards ended on Wednesday evening with a promise to return in 2023
  • The first day of the conference is branded as Arab Women Forum while the second day was more about hardcore business

The two-day TOP CEO Conference and Awards came to an end late Wednesday (May 18) with a grand yet somber awards ceremony where the chief executive officers of the top listed companies were recognized for their leadership.

The 90-minute awards gala at the posh Palazzo Versace hotel in Dubai was attended by CEOs from all GCC countries. The 6th edition of the TOP CEO Awards was spread across 10 industries and in each category 10 CEOs of publicly-listed companies are awarded – a total of 100 CEOs were recognized out of more than 700 companies listed on stock markets in the GCC.

Speaking on the occasion, organizing firm Special Edition’s CEO Julien Hawari said: “The TOP CEO Awards are the most transparent and credible business awards in the region because the evaluation process is based on a transparent formula that compares annual financial statements of two latest financial years.

“There is no nomination, no fee, and no jury for the awards. The formula has been jointly developed by the TOP CEO team and the prestigious INSEAD Business School (France) along with Dubai-based Hawkamah Institute for Corporate Governance,” he said.

Some CEOs who could not attend personally were represented by their senior officials who received trophies on behalf of CEOs.
