The GWI Global Water Awards recognise excellence in the global water industry - the deals, the projects, the technologies and the people who have made a difference. The importance of the awards is that they represent the views of those within the water sector. They are the most prestigious recognition of achievement in the international water sector and are selected annually as a result of a free vote given to subscribers to Global Water Intelligence and Water Desalination Report and members of the International Desalination Association.
The key note speech at the awards dinner will be from Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan. This promises to be a fascinating evening as Queen Noor will be telling the story of water in Jordan and linking it to wider issues in the Middle East and beyond. Queen Noor is well known as a humanitarian, activist and outspoken voice on issues of global peace-building, nuclear non-proliferation and cross-cultural understanding and her unique perspective will enlighten us all.
The venue for the Global Water Awards 2010 is the Pavillion d’Armenonville, home to Potel et Chabot, the most famous caterers in France. The Pavillion is a former 18th century hunting lodge, located on the outskirts of Paris in the Bois de Boulogne. Originally constructed in 1701 by the Count of Armenonville, it was the meeting place for Parisian gentry throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and is mentioned in the masterpieces of both Proust and Dumas. Put yourself in the hands of Potel et Chabot, renowned throughout the world as the epitome of chic savoir-faire, and celebrate all that is great in the world of water.
