All the finalists revealed for the M&IT Awards 2024
The votes have been counted and verified and these are our 2024 finalists.
We are delighted to announce the finalists for the M&IT Awards 2024.
There are a total of 20 categories at this year’s awards, taking place at Grosvenor House London on Friday 13 September.
Brought to you by Northstar Meetings Group and hosted by comedian and TV presenter Tom Allen, the M&IT Awards brings together more industry professionals than any other awards event to recognise the people that drive the sector forward.
M&IT editor and head of the judging panel Paul Harvey said: “We are very excited to reveal the finalists of this year’s M&IT Awards. Thanks so much to everyone who entered, nominated and canvassed for votes.
"The calibre of entries was the highest we've ever seen and there are fantastic contenders in every single category. With only a limited number of M&IT Awards to give out, unfortunately, there can only be one winner in each category.
“Congratulations to everyone who's been shortlisted - it really is the Oscars of the industry. I can't wait to see everyone and find out who the winners are on Friday 13 September.”
