PublicisLive Opens Abu Dhabi Hub

ABU DHABI, UAE, October 12, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

            World-renowned Event Group Extends Reach in Middle East

    PublicisLive, the Geneva-based, event arm of Publicis Groupe, today
announced the opening of a fully-staffed office in Abu Dhabi to serve as its
hub for expanded operations throughout the Gulf and the Middle East. Abu
Dhabi will be PublicisLive's third global hub after Geneva and Paris.

    The new office is located within Abu Dhabi's twofour54 media zone and is
managed by Matthieu Daurces, a veteran PublicisLive event manager. Matthieu
and his team spearhead some of the company's high profile events in the
Middle East such as the Abu Dhabi Media Summit, an annual gathering of some
of the world's leading players in old and new media and the Internet.
PublicisLive is also working on the Summit on the Global Agenda for
long-time partner the World Economic Forum, for whom PublicisLive produces
the famous annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The Summit on the Global
Agenda will take place this year in Abu Dhabi on Oct. 10-11, 2011.
PublicisLive has also been responsible for other important regional events
such as the Petra Conference of Nobel Laureates in Jordan and the Global
Competiveness Forum in Saudi Arabia.

    John Rossant, Executive Chairman of PublicisLive, says, "We are very
excited about setting up a shop in the United Arab Emirates and Abu Dhabi.
Matthieu Daurces and his team are already off to a terrific start. We have
always wanted to be present on the ground in the Gulf so that we can respond
quickly to the growing needs of clients in the region for high-level,
world-class events. Abu Dhabi makes the most sense for us thanks to its
forward policies, its openness, and the ease of doing business here."

establish its regional hub shows how much progress we have made in

PublicisLive is a world leader in its sector. They will add tremendously to
the vibrant community we are building."
