The Meetings Industry Association (mia) has opened
voting to determine which of its 2023 finalists will secure a team title on its
miaList.
Heading into its 13th year, the miaList recognises
‘inspiring teams who continually go the extra mile and play a pivotal role in
making their organisations so successful, while also celebrating individuals
who similarly go above and beyond.’
Finalists for the nine team titles were revealed in early
August. Now, votes will be collected for the following organisations, which
will then be weighted alongside scores previously provided by the judging
panel.

the mia’s annual miaSummit. Voting will close on Friday 8 September at
5pm.
Kerrin MacPhie, chief executive of the mia, said: “The
judging process for the miaList is always one of the most rewarding times of
the year, as we see first-hand the outstanding achievements that have occurred
over the last 12 months. In what has been another record year for nominations,
our judging panel has been taken aback by the quality of the entries, and we
now look forward to seeing which teams can secure a place on our roll of honour
in October.”
