Association director, Heather
Lishman said: “As the Excellence Awards have gone from strength to strength, we
have seen increased opportunity to recognise and reward more organisations in a
more diverse set of categories.
"In particular, we wanted to recognise
individuals that have gone above and beyond the call of duty to support those
around them. As the only awards for the association and not for profit
event sector we also wanted to extend the entry criteria to include those
outside of our membership, giving them a chance for greater recognition amongst
their peers.”
Category entry details and
criteria can be found at here. The deadline for entries is 5pm
on 16 September, 2022.
The annual awards ceremony will
be preceded by a morning of education as well as networking opportunities the
night before.
