Now in its 38th year, the M&IT Awards are designed to recognise the phenomenal people, businesses, creativity and resilience that drive the meetings and events industry forward.
Only UK-based bona-fide event organisers are permitted to vote in the majority of our 19 categories, and we’re the only independently verified and audited event industry awards programme. So when we say the winners are chosen by you, we mean it.
Of course, there’s more to us than the awards presentation. On the night hosted by Katherine Ryan, you’ll also enjoy: a Champagne reception, entertainment, a three-course dinner, and no night is complete without an after-party!
"Awards play an important role in how agencies assess success. This is particularly relevant when those awards are rooted in genuine client endorsement. In that respect, the M&IT Awards stand apart. They are voted for solely by clients and independently verified, making them one of the most credible measures of performance in our industry."
