INTERNATIONAL
For CINET, says CEO Peter Wennekes, 2019 and 2020 were marked by an amazing global quest for selecting and bringing together the best showcases from all over the world for its 2020 Gobal Best Practices Awards Programme.

Assisted and supported by a growing number of sponsors and members, more 125 applications from some 40 countires were received. Before Covid- 19 came along five pre-selections were already organised and the winners automatically qualified for the final presentation. Six pre-selections needed to be cancelled or were organised virtually.

Virtually from Amsterdam
In spite of the fact that due to Covid-19, the GBAP Awards 2020 could not be organised from Texcare International in Frankfurt, Cinet is extremely pleased to stage the event virtually from Amsterdam, Netherlands, in cooperation with the INTERCLEAN exhibition streaming event.
