The 2022 M&IT Awards saw the industry come together at an
emotional time as the nation mourned the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. There was a minute's silence led by M&IT Editor Paul
Harvey before the evening’s host Ore
Oduba took to the stage to kick off proceedings.
Lisa Lernoux-Dock of Iconic Luxury Hotels took home the
Personality of the Year award while Dublin came up double trumps with the Dublin
Convention Bureau taking gold in the Best Overseas Convention Bureau category
and The Convention Centre Dublin winning gold in the Best Overseas Conference
Centre category.
