What were the notable highlights and achievements for Cityscape in 2010?
In difficult market conditions globally, Cityscape exhibitions proved their resilience once again. New launches in Riyadh and Jeddah were successful in selling out all exhibition space and visitor numbers far exceeded expectations. We successfully re-branded Cityscape Dubai to Cityscape Global, in recognition of the worldwide scope of the event. Further exhibitions in Abu Dhabi, Singapore and Latin America all recorded strong figures.

What are your objectives for 2011?
In short, to continue our growth in emerging markets though a variety of mediums; from Business Breakfasts, Cityscape Awards ceremonies, conferences to major trade shows.
Any interesting highlights in the coming Cityscape event?
Cityscape Abu Dhabi is the next event taking place. This event’s key speakers involve C-level representatives from Tamweel, Union Railway, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Mubadala, First Qatar Real Estate, RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland), Macquarie Capital Advisers, Standard Chartered, Kuwait Financial Centre, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Rothschild and many more.
What will people gain from the event?
Visitors to our events like Cityscape Abu Dhabi for instance, will learn how to tap into the wealth of the Middle East, access sustainable finance, understand the regulatory frameworks and find new avenues for growth and investment within infrastructure, right here at the largest real estate exhibition in the world.
