The Gaia Awards has grown into the industry’s most respected green construction awards honouring innovative construction products and equipment which have truly integrated the concept of moving towards a more sustainable built environment.
The awards are open to all industry players whose products are distributed within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
A panel of industry experts with acclaimed credentials carefully select the winners, whose products are expected to demonstrate exceptional and unique features that successfully integrate further progression into construction sustainability in the MENA region.
CPD, Continuing Professional Development
During the exhibition there will be free educational workshops. All of the workshops offered at The Big 5 are CPD-certified by an independent provider and each workshop is presented by an industry specialist, who will share cutting-edge insight into an ever evolving business landscape. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the term used to describe the commitment to lifelong learning. Employers and institutions across industries are increasingly adopting a more structured approach to learning in order to retain key staff and develop the skills and knowledge in the organization to maintain a sustainable and competitive advantage.
CPD benefits individuals by fostering a culture of continuous personal improvement, skills development and knowledge sharing. It helps to ensure that individuals are kept informed, up-skilled and proficient to change in practice. CPD-certified training, seminars, workshops and conferences are also a significant benefit to those constricted by time, resource and budget as they can offer an affordable, time-efficient opportunity to develop skills and knowledge.
