Artaaj Events

Artaaj was assigned to handle the full event for Etihad to launch their new destination Sydney, Australia. More
than 300 guests were carried away as a plane literally arrived at the venue. Three screens displaying images of Australia succeeded in creating this feeling of landing in Australia.

A model of the Sydney Opera house was the eye catcher of the evening as the opera singer started the evening. This was followed by speeches by the CEO of Etihad and the Australian Ambassador to the UAE.

An Aboriginal dance troupe made the evening complete as they performed to the sound of the Didgeridoo.

The activity will continue through the months of March and April.

Hannah Jordan joins Artaaj after a five year stint in the travel management and business development industry of the UK. “I’ve been at Artaaj for just one week now, and so far I’m very impressed with what I’ve seen. I contacted Artaaj after researching different Event Management companies in Dubai – the company looked great; ambitious, organised, honest, friendly and expanding rapidly. I have a range of talents – training, marketing, budgeting, HR, system development, advertising and event management. I wanted to transfer my skills to a new industry – and what could be better than event management in Dubai?! I’m excited about developing my skills here and helping Artaaj Events continue to be the best in the business”, says a smiling Hannah. Hannah, a keen football player, has already started work on the Abu Dhabi Awards account since joining Artaaj and looks forward to leading more projects.
