Enter Now! Deadline for submission approaching

Don't leave it too late to put together your entries for the Conference Awards 2012 and get the recognition you deserve for all the hard work you and your team have put in over the past year. The deadline for entries is 24th February 2012.

This year we are introducing some new sector specific categories which will allow the winning events and teams to stand out from the crowd in the subject areas in which they excel – these include The Best Finance, Telecoms, Life Science and Energy conferences. There are also categories for the Best Marketing Production and Operations teams as well as awards for the Best Customer service and the Best Awards team. See the complete list of categories here.

Once again we have gathered together a distinguished panel of judges including Peter Rigby, Andrew Brown and Greg Hitchen, CEOs of Informa, WTG and Terrapinn respectively. With decades of experience between them these judges are ideally qualified to assess the quality of the 150 plus entries we will receive before the deadline for entries passes on February 24th 2012.

The awards ceremony itself will be held at the Brewery who along with Hiscox MCL and JLA are headline sponsors of the Conference Awards 2012

The host at our lunchtime awards ceremony on Friday 15th June will be Nick Hewer from the Apprentice and Countdown. It promises to be another exciting and highly enjoyable afternoon.

All you need to do is select the review the categories listed on this website, complete the online entry forms and send to us together with supporting information before 24th February 2012 at 5pm GMT.

The Conference Awards have become an established fixture in the calendar for the vast majority of UK based commercial conference organising companies. The first event hosted by Ruby Wax in 2010 attracted over 400 attendees, the second with Michael Portillo as compere saw over 550 participants and in 2012 we anticipate further growth as competition for the coveted trophies intensifies.
