Heather Lishman, Association Director of ABPCO, is very pleased to announce that the shortlist for the ABPCO Excellence Awards is now LIVE.
ABPCO is the Association for British Professional Conference Organisers, representing those that work in the field of meetings and events in Associations, Not-For-Profits, Societies, Charities, Academic Departments and the PCO agencies and suppliers that support them. The ABPCO Excellence Awards recognise excellence, innovation, best practice and dedication in the delivery of events across this sector.
‘This is going to be one of the most competitive years we’ve ever had, as we’ve seen a 57% increase in entries, which is simply amazing! Some of the categories have been very tough to judge as the quality of the submissions has been through the roof. With that in mind I’d like to say a special thank you to all our judges who have really put in an incredible amount of work to give these entries the time and focus they deserve.’ Heather Lishman, Association Director, ABPCO
The whole ABPCO board is now very excited about what should be a buzzing and vibrant occasion. This year’s awards will be held in Blackpool on Thursday, 12th and Friday, 13th December 2024. This 2-day event will include a learning programme, networking, social opportunities and of course the all-important Gala Awards Lunch.
