Voting has opened to determine which of the finalist teams
will secure a place on the 2022 miaList.
Now in its 12th year, the Meetings Industry Association’s
(mia) roll of honour recognises inspiring individuals and teams who continually
go the extra mile and play a pivotal role in making their business meetings and
events organisations successful.
The three dedicated team finalists, as well as those in the
Best Innovation, Sustainability and Venue and Supplier of the Year categories,
which have been shortlisted by an esteemed judging panel of industry leaders,
will now go to a public online vote. Votes collected for the following
organisations will then be weighted alongside scores previously provided by the
judging panel.
Kerrin MacPhie, chief executive of the mia, said: “It has
been truly inspiring hearing about the successes of this year’s finalists.
Their achievements, determination and resilience as well as their collaborative
efforts represent everything that the miaList was designed to recognise, so
we’re looking forward seeing who secures a place on our roll of honour at our
ceremony in November.”
