Overall winners for Best Restaurant were Galvin La Chapelle (pictured above) in London designed by designLSM. Best Bar was awarded to The Tote in India designed by Serie Architects.
Cinimod Studio were commissioned to create a system unique to the event. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology was used to identify key visitors on the two ‘networking pods’ during the evening's proceedings.
