The design of the new Al Jazeera Media Network broadcast office and studio facility is a successful collaboration between and Veech X Veech, as designers of the broadcast news studio and adjacent newsroom work environment and John McAslan + Partners, as interior designers of the office. The new studio has set a benchmark for global TV design, a test-bed pushing the limits of what is possible.

Locating all departments and services on a single floor has enabled the design teams to develop innovative uses of space and create a more efficient and pleasant working environment, like nothing else in the TV news industry.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will host its 6th International Seminar at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria, on 3−4 June 2015. The theme of the event is “Petroleum — An Engine for Global Development”.

“The Seminar will examine a range of important energy issues with presentations by Ministers, oil company executives, representatives from international organizations, academic experts and industry analysts. Topics will include the global energy outlook, market stability, oil investments, technology and the environment, and the state of the world economy.

The 6th OPEC International Seminar will underpin OPEC’s longstanding commitment to strive for a secure and stable international oil market by promoting cooperation and dialogue with stakeholders around the world. OPEC has held numerous Seminars since 1969, covering various topical themes. But its first high-level International Seminar was held in 2001. Since then, the event has grown in size and prominence to become one of the premier gatherings on the world energy calendar”.
