A community that shows up

More than 400 guests joined our 2025 gala. Across the 2023–2025 awards community, represented organisations had an estimated MENA workforce of 300,000+, with historical finalist organisation attendance of 85%.

Our community brings together leaders from business, healthcare, education and wellbeing. Organisations represented across previous awards years include Majid Al Futtaim, Alshaya, Chalhoub Group, Standard Chartered, ADNOC, ENOC, WSP, Siemens Energy, Mediclinic, Aster, GEMS, NYU Abu Dhabi, Deloitte and BCG.

Visibility beyond the gala

Partnerships can combine gala visibility with useful ideas and leadership stories through the mentl community, podcasts, YouTube and the Moving the Needle playbook. Together, we can agree a programme that reflects your brand’s contribution and the conversations you want to support.

The updated kit sets out our audience, recent content performance and partnership options. For example, the opening 2026 podcast episode reached more than 730,000 people and generated 2,000 watch/listen hours. These are results for that episode, not a forecast for every partnership.

Find your partnership

Options range from Community Ally at USD 2,500 to Headline at USD 60,000, with Bronze, Silver, Gold, Reception and Dessert partnerships, alongside bespoke content and event opportunities.

Prices exclude VAT. Full inclusions, scope and availability are confirmed in your proposal.

Independent judging. Shared purpose.

Every entry is judged independently on merit. Sponsorship has no influence on judging, shortlisting or results. Editorial activity remains values-led, and commercial engagement is consent-based.

Partners receive a report covering delivered visibility, content performance and agreed engagement.
