Published by Neil ThompsonThe deadline for entries for this year’s miaList has been extended, the Meetings Industry Association (mia) has announced.
Professionals working within the business meetings and events sector now have until 7 July to nominate either an inspirational individual or team who go above and beyond the call of duty and have played an instrumental role in making their organisation a success.
Anyone who is working within or is associated with the UK’s business meetings and events sector is eligible to be featured on the prestigious list, which is free to enter. However, individuals must be nominated by either a colleague or an associate.
New for this year, the list that commenced in 2011 now features an Agency of the Year and Star of the Future title, alongside categories for Sustainability, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, as well as a Best Innovation accolade, which were introduced last year.
Other titles that will continue to be recognised at the ceremony being held at Park Plaza Victoria London on 6 October 2023, include dedicated Team of the Year awards for those in Events & Operations, Sales & Marketing and DMOs, as well as dedicated Venue of the Year and Supplier of the Year titles.
Kerrin MacPhie, chief executive of the mia, said: “After a record number of entries received last year, it’s fantastic to see that demand for places on our coveted list continues. However, having spoken to many who are currently compiling their entries, we’ve decided to extend the deadline by one week to ensure as many individuals and teams can enter as possible.
