European Business Awards Gala Event to be Broadcast Live via Video Link - Join the Celebrations!

Istanbul – 6 June 2013 – It has just been confirmed that the European Business Awards winners’ ceremony being held tonight in Istanbul will be streamed directly onto the European Business Awards website – www.businessawardseurope.com.

The live streaming will begin at approximately 9.05pm Turkish time - 8.05pm CET/ 7.05pm BST. Prior to the winners’ announcements, there will be a pre-recorded broadcast of the speeches which will take place from 8.45pm Turkish time – 7.45pm CET / 6.45pm BST.

The broadcast will give a wider audience across Europe the chance to view the exclusive gala event and to discover in real-time the names of those companies that have won each of the ten category awards.

Commenting on the decision to provide video streaming, Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards says, “We have been thinking for some time about the benefits of broadcasting our awards ceremony. The technology is now widely available and it was certainly on our agenda for future events. However, in light of the recent unrest in Istanbul and the decision of some of our guests not to travel, now seemed like the perfect time to offer this service.  We wanted to do this so that those finalists that couldn’t make it to Istanbul still feel part of the celebrations. Not only that, it also gives many more people the opportunity to share in the event including entrants from the 2013/14 event who will be able to see the end result of the awards journey.”

The video link-up has been made possible thanks to the generosity of the European Business Awards’ latest category sponsor – BP Target Neutral. BP Target Neutral is a not-for-profit scheme which looks to help businesses and individuals to reduce their carbon footprint. Working with BP Target Neutral, the European Business Awards has made a commitment to become carbon neutral for the 2013/14 awards programme. To find out more visit: www.bptargetneutral.com.
