1st Middle East Veg Congress, 2010 - Dubai, UAE
organised by the Middle East Veg Group (MEVEG) at MENOPE (Middle East Natural & Organic Product Expo) in Dubai UAE
6th & 7th December, 2010
The first ever Middle East Veg Congress was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, December 6 & 7, 2010. The Congress was a great success, with many new ideas that the rest of us can learn from. Over the two days there were 16 speakers from many countries around the world, workshops for children, fabulous vegan food provided by sponsors, the organic food expo taking place alongside, and all of it video'd by SMTV who brought in 14 people from East Asia to do the job. The grand finale was a live interactive satellite link with Supreme Master Ching Hai from the climate change conference in Cancun, Mexico.
