Salans continued their march across the region as they scooped the Legal & Consulting Firm of the Year award, and Architect of the Year was Chapman Taylor. Eli Alroy, founder and chairman of developer GTC, was on stage for the second time in the evening when he received the award for CEE Real Estate Industry Professional of the Year.
Earlier in the day senior figures in the market gathered for The Green Debate, a CEE Insight Forum looking at ways in which the CEE real estate sector can address the challenges of climate change and urban sustainability. To the sound of chirping birds and "the worlds first zero emissions stage" covered in grass, plants and flowers, leading property lawyer Pawe? D?bowski led a series of headline presentations and panel debates panting a picture of world class sustainability.
The Green Debate audience was welcomed by the City of Warsaw's representative on the C40 Large Cities Climate Leadership Group, Leszek Drogosz, and key note speaker Bob Evans' presentation The Future is Green the took the audience on a trip through the cornerstones of the case for rapid progress on the issue.

The large crowd were Lost in Music as an outstanding array of production and entertainment highlights swept through the evening, not least the legendary band Sister Sledge who were flown in from Philadelphia to groove the event into the night with their archive of global hits.
"This is now indisputably a world class event for an increasingly world class sector, and we want our audience to see what world class is in every aspect - from bricks and mortar to vocal projection. By all accounts we achieved that this year, it was wonderful to see so many of the sector's leaders here and more than a few European and global industry leaders to boot. It was a fantastic evening and well done to all the winners!"
